FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The AC Runner offers a standard athletic fit, but the mesh upper provides some natural flex to accommodate various foot widths.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers as it can compromise the structural integrity of the foam and glue; always clean by hand.
Are these good for trail running?
These are primarily designed for road and track performance. While they have good grip, they are not intended for technical or rocky trail terrain.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the firm durometer foam rails are specifically engineered to provide structural stability and support for the foot.
How often should I replace these runners?
For consistent runners, it is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the wear of the outsole and midsole compression.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after long runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned evenly; over-tightening can restrict blood flow and create pressure points.
Outsole collecting small debris
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning tool or a toothpick to gently dislodge rocks or gravel from the rubber tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance AC Runners last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the foam to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the mesh. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as high temperatures can damage the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation.
