FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the inclusion of firm stability rails helps provide support for those who need a bit more structure, though consulting with a podiatrist is recommended for specific orthopedic needs.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand-clean these shoes to maintain the integrity of the foam midsole and the fabric structure.
What is the primary surface for the AC Runner?
These trainers are optimized for road running, paved surfaces, and indoor gym flooring.
Does the mesh upper provide enough support?
The mesh is designed for breathability, while the internal structure and stability rails provide the necessary support to keep the foot centered.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing technique to relieve tension over the sensitive areas.
Slippage in the heel area
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to secure the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance AC Runners last, follow these best practices:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for standard adult feet; ensure your typical UK sizing aligns for a snug but comfortable heel fit.
- Break-in: While ready to wear immediately, taking them for a few short walks can help the mesh upper and midsole foam conform to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents, as these can degrade the foam and adhesive materials.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or stiffen.
