FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance U4089BN trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and light athletic activities. They are not engineered with the specific support and cushioning required for high-impact running.

What materials are these trainers made from?

These trainers feature an upper constructed from a blend of premium leather for durability and structure, and breathable mesh for ventilation. The sole is typically rubber.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Gently use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to clean the mesh. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the U4089BN is a unisex model, meaning it is designed to be suitable for wear by individuals of any gender.

What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

What is the warranty period for New Balance trainers?

Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official New Balance website for specific warranty details.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the widest part of your foot should fit comfortably in the shoe's width.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Try wearing them with thicker socks to slightly stretch the material. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's width is not suitable for your foot.

Treadwear on the outsole.

Normal wear and tear is expected with regular use. If excessive or uneven wear occurs, check for any objects trapped in the sole or potential alignment issues. For significant wear, replacement may be necessary.

Laces fraying or breaking.

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. It is recommended to use durable, flat laces for trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: The unisex design and classic black and white colourway make these trainers highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire for both men and women.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. The mesh can be gently brushed with a soft brush and mild soap solution.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check the laces and the sole for wear and tear. Rotate with other footwear to prolong their lifespan.
