Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Consult the New Balance size guide and compare measurements with your foot. Consider the specific fit of reissued models.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break them in gradually over a few wears.
Material scuffing or damage
Avoid abrasive surfaces. Clean any scuffs promptly using appropriate cleaning methods for synthetic materials.
Yellowing of midsole/sole
This can occur with age and exposure. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Specific cleaning solutions may help, but results vary.
