Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size up or down or a different width option if available.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape when not worn. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can create pressure points.
Discoloration on white surfaces
Wipe immediately with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
