FAQs
Are the New Balance XC-72 suitable for running?

What is the inspiration behind the XC-72 design?
The XC-72 silhouette draws inspiration from a blend of vintage and futuristic design elements, aiming to create a progressive and unique aesthetic in sneaker culture.
Do these trainers require a break-in period?
Like many new shoes, the XC-72 might benefit from a short break-in period to conform to your foot's shape. Wearing them for short durations initially can help achieve optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Consult the New Balance size chart for accurate UK sizing. Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly. Different materials might offer slightly different fits.
Discoloration on grey upper
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the affected area. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner might be necessary. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole scuffing
Minor scuffs can often be removed with a pencil eraser or a magic eraser. For deeper marks, professional shoe cleaning products may be required.
Laces fraying
Replace laces if they become significantly worn or frayed. New Balance offers replacement laces, or standard shoelaces can be used.
