Troubleshooting
Color differs slightly from images
Colors may vary due to lighting, environment, and screen settings. We strive for accuracy, but slight differences are normal.
Initial discomfort with the sole
The unique dual-purpose outsole may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Sizing seems off
Refer to New Balance's official size chart for accurate measurements. Ensure your foot is measured correctly.
Material scuffing
For minor scuffs on leather, use a leather cleaner or conditioner. For nylon, gentle spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water is advised.
