FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the New Balance RC42 Trainers are designed for casual wear, walking, and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
What materials are used in these trainers?
The upper is made of a blend of leather and suede. The lining is textile, and the sole is rubber, providing cushioning and support.
How do I clean the leather and suede materials?
For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend checking the size guide if you are unsure.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some durability, suede and leather are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for these materials to offer additional protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede material appears dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. This helps to lift the nap and restore its original texture and appearance.
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is slightly off, try adjusting the lacing technique to provide more or less room. Consider thicker or thinner socks as needed.
Stains on leather or suede.
For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the sole or upper. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, inspect the sole for any loose parts.

Care
To maintain the quality, appearance, and longevity of your New Balance RC42 Trainers, always refer to the specific care instructions provided by New Balance. General care guidelines for the leather and suede upper include:
- Cleaning: For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede to repel water and resist stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
