No, suede is not naturally waterproof. We recommend applying a suede protector spray before first wear and avoiding wet conditions to protect the material.

New Balance RC42 typically offers a comfortable, true-to-size fit for adults. If you're between sizes, consider referring to a New Balance sizing chart or trying them on.

The primary upper material for this specific variant is premium suede, offering a soft feel and durable finish. Other variants might feature different materials like linen.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers and revive the texture.
Stubborn stain or scuff on the suede.
For scuffs, use a suede eraser to gently rub the mark. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions, then brush.
Trainers got wet and look discolored.
Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and consider reapplying a water protector.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes.
Remove insoles and allow them to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let sit overnight, then shake out. Consider odor-absorbing shoe inserts.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
- Regular Cleaning:
- For light dirt and dust, use a suede brush (often with both wire and rubber bristles) to gently brush in one direction.
- For scuffs or stubborn marks, use a suede eraser to rub away the mark, then brush the nap back into place.
- Deep Cleaning (Spot Treatment): For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner and gently dab the affected area. Avoid oversaturating the suede.
- Drying: Always allow suede to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing your RC42s in rain, snow, or muddy conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry completely before cleaning.
- DO NOT machine wash or machine dry these trainers.
