FAQs

The shoe features a creamy mesh base with suede overlays and leather accents for the N logos.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
The XC-72 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and casual use. While it offers good traction, it is not optimized for performance running.
How do I clean the unique split outsole?
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the traction patterns.
What does 'Moonbeam' refer to in the product name?
'Moonbeam' likely refers to the specific creamy colorway of this iteration of the XC-72 model.
Are there other color options available for the XC-72 series?
Yes, the XC-72 series is available in various other colorways and material combinations, including black and brown options.
How does the sizing run for the XC-72?
The XC-72 generally runs true to size. However, individuals with wider feet might find the slightly oversized midsole offers a comfortable fit. It is always recommended to consult size charts or try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Suede color transfer to socks
This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the suede is properly treated or conditioned. A light spray of suede protector might help. Washing socks separately for the first few times can also mitigate this.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from dirt and debris, as this can impact grip. For persistent issues, consider if the outsole material has worn down significantly.
Midsole feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
The oversized midsole may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.
