FAQs
How do I choose the right size for the XC-72 trainers?
To select the correct size, measure your foot length from the heel to the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or consult the product description's sizing guidance.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The XC-72 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer comfort and support, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or intense athletic training.
What materials are the New Balance XC-72 made from?
These trainers typically feature a combination of leather and nylon in their upper construction, providing a mix of durability and breathability.
How should I clean the leather and suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For leather, a slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient. For suede, specialized suede cleaners and brushes are recommended. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What does the 'dual-purpose sole' refer to?
The 'dual-purpose sole' refers to the distinctive outsole design that extends up the heel, offering a unique aesthetic and enhanced stability and grip.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Troubleshooting
Tread feels unusual at first
The XC-72 features a distinctive dual-purpose sole. Allow a brief period of wear to adapt to the unique tread pattern and feel.
Dirt accumulation on the sole
Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to clean debris from the sole's crevices. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth may be effective.
Slight color transfer on socks
This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored footwear. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially. The transfer should diminish with continued wear and proper care.
Discomfort after initial wear
Ensure you have selected the correct size by measuring your foot. If the discomfort persists after a few wears, consider if the shoe's shape is suitable for your foot type.
