FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam cushioning?
The Fresh Foam cushioning provides an ultra-cushioned, lightweight, and responsive ride, absorbing impact effectively for enhanced comfort during running.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature a standard fit. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to check for available wide-width options or consult the New Balance sizing guide.
How much bio-based content is in the cushioning?
The Fresh Foam cushioning contains approximately 3% bio-based content, derived from renewable resources.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single shoe weighs approximately 276 grams (9.7 oz).
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry to moderately wet conditions.
What type of sport are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are primarily designed for running and are also suitable for general multisport activities and athletic training.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider a half-size larger or check for alternative lacing techniques.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While Fresh Foam is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or if comfort is notably reduced.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Mesh upper feels restrictive.
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly to allow for foot expansion during activity. The engineered mesh is designed to be breathable and flexible.
