Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try loosening or re-tying the laces, or ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Discoloration on white leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner with a soft cloth. For scuffs, try a magic eraser gently, or a specific leather recoloring balm if the damage is significant.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or generic flat sneaker laces can be used.
Inconsistent fit
Ensure laces are tied evenly. If the issue persists across different pairs, consult the retailer or New Balance customer service. Consider trying a half-size up or down if possible.
