FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 1300 Made in USA trainers are designed with comfort and style as priorities. While they feature supportive cushioning, they are best suited for everyday wear, walking, and light activities rather than intense athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid water saturation, as it can damage the suede.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' indicates that at least 70% of the manufacturing cost is incurred in the United States, signifying a commitment to domestic production and often higher quality standards.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather as water can stain and damage the material. Consider using a suede protector spray for added, though limited, protection against moisture.

How does the sizing run for the 1300 series?

The 1300 series generally runs true to size. However, it is always recommended to consult the New Balance size guide and consider trying them on if possible, especially as individual foot shapes can vary.

What is the ENCAP midsole technology?

ENCAP is New Balance's technology that combines a soft foam midsole with a durable polyurethane rim to provide all-day support and cushioning.

Are there other color options available?

This specific model is part of the 'Made in USA Seasonal Collection' and features a red and beige colorway. Other 1300 models or previous seasonal collections may offer different color variations.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner according to product instructions. Ensure shoes are dry before brushing.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild detergent and air drying.

Insole feels flat or lacks cushioning over time

Consider replacing the insoles with aftermarket cushioning inserts for added comfort and support.

Mesh material is snagged or torn

Minor snags can sometimes be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For larger tears, professional repair may be necessary, or consider the shoes retired from heavy use.
