FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While based on a cross-country racing silhouette, the RC56 is optimized for lifestyle and daily wear rather than technical long-distance running.

How do I determine my size in the RC56?

The RC56 typically fits true to size. Refer to the size guide for UK measurements to ensure the best fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the foam cushioning. Spot cleaning is recommended.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The RC56 featured in this guide is constructed with a durable leather upper for added support and style.

Does the FuelCell tech help with arch support?

Yes, the FuelCell foam, combined with the PU insert, provides a supportive platform that helps distribute pressure across the foot.

Troubleshooting

The leather upper feels stiff.

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for short durations indoors to help the leather stretch and contour to your foot shape.

Scuffs appearing on the white leather.

Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of white leather cleaner to gently buff out marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance RC56 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Initial Fit: If the shoe feels stiff upon arrival, wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning on the leather, use a mild leather cleaner and a damp cloth; avoid total submersion in water.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and the white colours from discolouring.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers pair well with athletic joggers, denim, or casual trousers, reflecting their versatile archival design.
