Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or consulting New Balance's official sizing guide. For this specific model, UK 13 is the listed size.
Material scuffs or stains easily
For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner or leather conditioner, depending on the material. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces wear out quickly
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress.

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. Their primary compatibility is with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athletic wear. For care, it is recommended to clean the trainers using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.

Regular cleaning and proper storage will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
