FAQs

Are the New Balance 530 Steel Grey suitable for running?

The New Balance 530 Steel Grey is primarily a lifestyle shoe designed for comfort and style. While it has running shoe origins and cushioning, it is not intended for high-performance or competitive running.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary by individual foot shape.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides a superior blend of cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact and provide comfort.

How do I clean the leather overlays?

Wipe the leather overlays with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear, following product instructions.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic mesh for breathability and leather overlays for durability and style.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.

Discomfort in the heel

Ensure laces are properly adjusted to support the heel. The ABZORB cushioning is designed for comfort, but a proper fit is crucial. If discomfort continues, the shoe might not be the right fit for your foot type.

Mesh material appears dirty

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh areas. Blot with a clean, dry cloth.
