Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are using the correct UK size. Consult the New Balance size guide for precise measurements. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or allow a break-in period as the shoe adapts to your foot.
Color appears different from images
Color perception can vary due to monitor settings and lighting conditions. The 'Black Cat' colorway is a deep black; minor variations are normal.
Initial stiffness
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Traction seems low on wet surfaces
The outsole provides good grip on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery conditions, as with any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
