Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1000 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For high-performance running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How should I clean the grey leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, a dedicated leather cleaner is advised. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit, or thinner socks if they feel too restrictive.
Leather shows signs of creasing
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and avoid over-tightening laces. Store them with shoe trees when not in use.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and could require professional attention or replacement.
Discoloration of the grey leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner designed for grey leather to maintain color.
