FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance marathons?
The EVOZ series is primarily designed for comfort and daily activity. While it offers good cushioning, individual marathon performance requirements may vary.
Can I put my New Balance EVOZ trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the performance foam of the midsole. Always hand clean.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, New Balance sizing is generally standard; however, it is recommended to measure your feet in the evening when they are naturally at their largest.
Is this model recommended for gym weightlifting?
The EVOZ is designed for running and movement. For heavy weightlifting, a firmer, flatter sole is generally recommended to ensure stability.
How often should I replace my trainers?
For runners, it is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and your gait.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt build-up in the mesh upper
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris before spot-cleaning with a damp cloth.
Feeling of decreased cushioning over time
Ensure the insole is properly seated and hasn't shifted; replace with standard inserts if the original foam has compressed significantly after extreme mileage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance EVOZ trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors before committing to long-distance runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft brush, mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive components.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and remove the liners after intense use to help moisture evaporate efficiently.
