FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are made from leather and are designed for general outdoor use. They offer some water resistance but are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water, waterproof hiking boots are recommended.
What is the primary benefit of Fresh Foam X cushioning?
Fresh Foam X provides a balance of softness and responsiveness, offering plush comfort while maintaining a stable feel underfoot for enhanced performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your toes should have a little room to move (about a thumb's width) when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping. It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you plan to wear.
Can these shoes be worn in winter?
While they offer good traction, they are not insulated for extreme winter conditions. They are best suited for mild to cool weather. For snow or ice, consider specialized winter footwear.
What other colors are available for the Fresh Foam X Garoé V2?
The Fresh Foam X Garoé V2 series includes other colorways, such as black. Please check product listings for current availability.
Is the leather material ethically sourced?
New Balance is committed to responsible sourcing. For specific details on the leather used in this model, please refer to New Balance's official sustainability or product information pages.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with appropriate hiking socks to allow for initial break-in. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if a different lacing technique might help.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. While designed for traction, extreme wet conditions may still present challenges; proceed with caution.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to restore moisture and flexibility. Use sparingly and follow product instructions.
