Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. If possible, try on different sizes or seek advice from a shoe specialist.
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, then allow to air dry completely.
Sole feels less grippy over time
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
Mesh areas show wear
Avoid excessive scrubbing on mesh. For minor fraying, consider a fabric glue applied sparingly to prevent further damage.
