FAQs

What is the main benefit of the split outsole on the XC-72?

The split outsole offers a distinctive visual design and is engineered to provide traction on various common surfaces.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

The New Balance XC-72 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, not for high-intensity athletic training.

How do I clean the leather 'N' logos?

Wipe the leather 'N' logos gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner.

What type of socks are recommended with this shoe?

For the 'Moonbeam' cream colorway, lighter colored socks are recommended to avoid potential color transfer onto the shoe.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, these are not waterproof shoes. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their appearance and longevity.

How does the sizing run for the XC-72?

The New Balance XC-72 generally runs true to size. However, if you are between sizes, consider trying a half-size up for a slightly roomier fit, especially with thicker socks.

What is the warranty period for New Balance shoes?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official New Balance website or your point of purchase for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Dirt on Cream Suede

Gently use a suede eraser or a soft brush. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of mild soap and water with a damp cloth, then allow to air dry.

Traction feels inconsistent

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The split outsole's performance is optimized for general urban surfaces.

Color transfer from dark socks

Wear lighter colored socks, especially with the cream colorway, to minimize the risk of color transfer. Consider using a fabric protector spray.
