FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature the ABZORB midsole for comfort, they are designed as lifestyle and casual footwear, not as performance running shoes.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; if you are between sizes, we recommend opting for your standard New Balance size.

Can the insoles be removed?

The insoles are designed to be integrated with the ABZORB unit; we recommend against replacing them to ensure optimal performance.

How do I best maintain the color?

Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight and use color-appropriate leather cream if you notice fading.

Are these water-resistant?

The leather is naturally resistant to light splashes, but they are not waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray.

Troubleshooting

Leather appearing dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shoe's shape and reduce stress on leather fibers.

Stains on the leather surface

Use a damp, lint-free cloth with mild leather-safe soap; never submerge the shoes in water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent blend of formal style and athletic comfort
  • Superior impact protection via ABZORB technology
  • High-quality, durable leather construction
  • Stable heel design for improved support

Cons

  • Leather requires regular maintenance compared to synthetic materials
  • Dark Night and Candied Violet colorway may not suit all conservative wardrobes
  • Limited to low-cut silhouette design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal fit, ensure you are wearing socks of similar thickness to those you intend to wear daily during your initial try-on. Because the upper is constructed from genuine leather, the shoes will adapt slightly to your foot shape over time. To clean, use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive brushes that could scuff the finish. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple dye from fading and to preserve the integrity of the leather.
