FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are made primarily of leather and textile and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged in water.

How should I clean the beige leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, sole, and internal structure of the shoe.

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of leather (56%), with textile (39%) and other materials (5%).

Are these suitable for running?

These trainers are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. They are not designed for high-impact running.

How do I find the right size?

The size is listed as UK 9.5 for this specific variant. It is recommended to refer to New Balance's sizing chart for accurate conversions if needed.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made entirely of rubber, providing durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness or discomfort

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the tongue and laces.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize deep creases, ensure the shoes are stored properly and consider using shoe trees.

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are tied with a secure knot. If the laces are smooth or worn, consider replacing them with a pair that offers better grip.
