Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or smaller, or consult the New Balance size chart.
Laces come undone easily
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with ones that offer better grip.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ABZORB cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant comfort loss is experienced after prolonged wear.
Slight creasing on leather
Natural creasing is normal for leather. To minimize, avoid over-flexing the shoe and use a shoe tree for storage.
