FAQs
Are these shoes intended for marathons?
No, the Gator Run is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it is inspired by athletic footwear, it lacks the advanced cushioning required for long-distance running.
How do I protect the suede?
We recommend using a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier before wearing them outdoors.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert your own orthotics or custom inserts.
Do they fit true to size?
Yes, New Balance trainers typically follow standard UK sizing, though personal preference for fit may vary.
What is the rubber teeth detail?
The rubber teeth are a signature design feature of the Gator Run, acting as a decorative and structural element on the midsole to give the shoe a unique look.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust or dry mud on suede
Use a specialized soft suede brush to gently lift dirt out of the nap of the material.
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a suede-specific eraser or a stiff brush to gently rub the affected area to restore the nap.
Minor scuffs on the rubber midsole
Wipe the rubber components with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface grime.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential, especially given the suede exterior. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water and dirt can easily stain the suede fibers. For regular maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or dry mud from the surface. If spot cleaning is necessary, use a specialized suede cleaner and apply it lightly, allowing the material to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. Always ensure your socks are compatible with a low-cut shoe to maintain a comfortable fit around the ankle.
