FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the RC42 series is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
Does the RC42 come in leather or suede?
The RC42 series features variants in both leather and suede materials depending on the specific model.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard New Balance sizing. If you have worn New Balance previously, your usual size should be the correct fit.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, most New Balance trainers feature removable insoles, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if necessary.
How do I maintain the bright white color?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and avoiding muddy or dusty environments will help keep the white aesthetic sharp.
Is this model gender-specific?
The RC42 is available in both unisex configurations and specific gender-fit versions, such as women's specific sizing.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
This is common with leather and suede footwear. Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Difficulty keeping the white surface clean
Use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush, wiping gently to avoid damaging the material.
