FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1300 has a running heritage, it is best suited as a lifestyle sneaker rather than for modern competitive or long-distance running.
How do I maintain the suede overlays?
Regularly use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust and dirt, and consider a water-repellent spray designed for suede to protect against light moisture.
What does the ENCAP midsole do?
The ENCAP system provides a durable core of cushioning that helps distribute impact forces evenly across the foot for long-term comfort.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are made of suede and mesh, which are not inherently water-resistant; it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
Generally, yes, but fit can vary by series. We recommend ordering your standard UK size.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and restore its original texture.
Stains on the mesh material
Lightly dab with a clean, damp cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid soaking the shoe through.
General fit feels too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened significantly before entry; suede may stretch slightly over time to accommodate the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual sneaker size for the best fit.
Care Instructions: To keep the suede looking its best, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the premium materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey tones from fading over time.
Compatibility: The minimalist aesthetic makes these highly compatible with jeans, chinos, or casual trousers.
