FAQs

Are the New Balance 1300 trainers suitable for running?

While the 1300 offers excellent cushioning for walking and everyday comfort, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and not for high-performance running. For dedicated running, consider specialized running shoes.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a suede brush and specialized suede cleaner sparingly. For mesh, a damp cloth with mild soap and water is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally and away from heat.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the value of the shoe is from domestic manufacturing and assembly, often indicating higher quality materials and craftsmanship.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing suede and mesh trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the materials. Consider using a suede protector spray for some water resistance.

What is ENCAP cushioning?

ENCAP is an abbreviation for Encapsulated Cushioning. It's a technology that uses a soft EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) core surrounded by a durable polyurethane rim to provide both cushioning and support.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. New Balance trainers are available in various UK sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or matted

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner as per its instructions.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure laces are threaded evenly through the eyelets. Try a different lacing technique, such as a secure knot or a double knot, if they consistently come undone.

Unusual smell inside the shoe

Remove the insoles if possible and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or support tailored to your needs.
