FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?

The Fresh Foam midsole provides a soft, cushioned feel that enhances comfort during both running and everyday activities.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

These trainers are primarily designed for road running and general athletic use. The rubber outsole offers decent grip but may not be sufficient for technical trail conditions.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

It is recommended to verify the UK size indicated on the product page against your actual foot measurement. Be aware that the box or label might show US or European sizes which are different from UK sizing.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the shoe's integrity and materials.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a breathable mesh material, designed to promote airflow and keep your feet cool.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

Lifespan varies with usage intensity and frequency. For regular runners, it's advisable to consider replacement after a significant amount of mileage, typically between 300-500 miles, to ensure optimal cushioning and support.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Double-check the UK size against the product label. Consult the New Balance sizing chart if discrepancies persist. Note that box or label may display US/Euro sizes which differ from UK.

Reduced cushioning over time

The Fresh Foam midsole is designed for lasting comfort, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing after significant mileage.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris for optimal grip.
