FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance RC42 Suede Trainers are designed for everyday wear and an active lifestyle, providing comfort for walking and casual activities. They are not engineered for intensive running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
To clean suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For scuffs or stains, gently use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly, following its instructions. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Suede is not naturally water-resistant and can be damaged by water. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. A protective spray designed for suede can offer some resistance against light moisture, but is not a guarantee.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The RC42 trainers provide standard comfort and support suitable for everyday wear. If you require specific or advanced arch support, you may consider adding custom or over-the-counter orthotic inserts.
Are New Balance RC42 trainers true to size?
New Balance RC42 trainers generally fit true to size for most individuals. For the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to consult the New Balance official size chart and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the New Balance RC42 Trainers is crafted from durable suede, offering a premium look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. Brush in one direction to restore the natural nap and vibrancy of the material.
Water stains on suede
Allow the trainers to dry naturally and completely. Once dry, gently brush the stained area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner or eraser may be needed.
Trainers develop an unpleasant odor
Ensure trainers are aired out after each use. Remove insoles and let them dry separately if removable. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or cedar shoe trees. Always wear socks to help absorb moisture.
Sizing feels uncomfortable or too tight/loose
New Balance RC42 trainers generally fit true to size. If experiencing discomfort, double-check your measurement against the New Balance size chart. Break-in period might be needed, or consider trying a half-size up or down if issues persist.

Care
Suede Material Requires Special Attention
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Always follow the product's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush (or a dedicated shoe brush) to gently brush away loose dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For small scuffs or marks, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the affected area to lift the stain.
- Deep Cleaning (for tough stains): For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth, following the cleaner's instructions carefully. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your suede trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
