FAQs
Are the New Balance XC-72 suitable for running?
The XC-72 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While it offers comfort and some traction, it is not engineered for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What inspired the design of the XC-72?
The design is heavily inspired by 1970s concept car designs, particularly evident in the squared-off toe box and the aggressive, multi-patterned outsole.
What does 'Moonbeam' refer to in the product name?
'Moonbeam' refers to the specific colorway of this iteration of the XC-72, characterized by its creamy and beige tones.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the material of the N logo?
The large 'N' logos on the side panels are made of white leather.
How does the split outsole function?
The split outsole features two distinct creamy traction patterns. This design aims to provide a unique aesthetic while offering reliable grip on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Mesh material looks discolored
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
Outsole traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. For persistent issues, inspect for excessive wear.
