Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Hesi Low is designed for adult male athletes who prioritize agility, responsiveness, and skeletal support during high-intensity court play. By combining advanced FuelCell technology with targeted ABZORB cushioning, these low-top shoes provide excellent energy return for quick cuts and explosive movements. Potential users should note that the leather upper and court-focused build are optimized for performance, meaning they may require a break-in period compared to standard casual sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
While the Hesi Low is highly durable, they are optimized for indoor performance. Outdoor play on rough concrete may accelerate outsole wear.
Do I need to size up for these shoes?
The New Balance Hesi Low generally fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit or wear thick performance socks, you may consider a half-size adjustment.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, providing a mix of durability and structural support.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal inserts can be removed if you require custom orthotics or wish to use your own specialized insoles.
How do I keep the white leather looking new?
Regularly wipe them down after use and use a specialized leather cleaner to prevent staining and maintain the finish.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for light activity for 3-5 days to soften the material.
Reduced traction on the court
Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and restore grip.
Discomfort during long sessions
Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique to secure the midfoot without restricting circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your New Balance Hesi Low shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For dirt on the leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or foam degradation.
- Surface Care: Inspect the outsoles periodically for debris or small stones stuck in the tread pattern, as this can affect grip on court surfaces.
