FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These sneakers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they feature cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes for high-impact athletic training.
What materials are the shoes made from?
The shoes are constructed from 100% synthetic materials, including an open-weave mesh upper and synthetic overlays, with a rubber sole.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance for accurate measurements. They are available in various US and EU sizes, and the provided size is UK 5.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.
Do the reflective details work in all lighting conditions?
The reflective details are designed to enhance visibility in low-light or dark conditions when light is shone directly on them. They are not continuously reflective.
What is the height of the rubber sole?
The rubber sole has a height of approximately 4cm.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, New Balance shoes are considered true to size, but individual fit can vary. It is always best to consult the size guide and consider trying them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. The synthetic materials will soften with use.
Surface dirt on synthetic materials.
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Reflective details appear faded.
Ensure the shoes are clean. While durable, excessive abrasion can affect the reflective coating over time. They are primarily for low-light visibility, not constant high reflectivity.
