FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While the 1300 model has a running shoe heritage, this version is best suited for everyday wear and casual comfort rather than intense athletic running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a dedicated suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and avoid getting the suede wet.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?
'Made in USA' indicates that at least 70% of the shoe's value is produced domestically, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality manufacturing in the United States.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, these trainers are designed as unisex and are suitable for adults of any gender.
What is the purpose of the ENCAP sole unit?
The ENCAP sole unit provides a core of soft cushioning (EVA) surrounded by a durable polyurethane rim, offering both support and maximum durability.
How should I store my 1300 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Fit feels too snug or loose
Ensure laces are tied appropriately. If the issue persists, consider the fit of different sizes, as sizing can vary slightly.
Mesh material seems worn
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is recommended. Inspect for potential snags and address them carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for unisex adult wear, they are compatible with most casual and athletic apparel. Consider your intended use – they are best suited for everyday wear and light activity, not intense athletic training.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your suede and mesh trainers:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Cleaning Mesh: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the mesh areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately. Allow all parts to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and moisture.
