FAQs
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB and ACTEVA LITE technology?
These technologies work together to provide superior cushioning and shock absorption, offering comfort and reducing impact on your feet during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for everyday comfort and light activity, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not provide the specific support and performance required for high-mileage marathon running.
How do I clean the snakeskin-style TPU overlays?
Gently wipe the overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the texture and appearance of the material.
Can I replace the toggle laces if they are damaged?
Yes, the toggle lacing system can typically be replaced with standard shoelaces or another compatible toggle system if needed. You may need to thread them through the existing eyelets and N-lock webbing.
What is the N-lock webbing for?
The N-lock webbing is integrated into the lacing system to provide enhanced midfoot support and a more secure, locked-in feel.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions or light, incidental moisture.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
New Balance trainers generally offer a standard fit. If you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for snugness or roominess. For a more secure fit, you might lean towards the smaller size, while for more room, the larger size might be preferable. Refer to New Balance's sizing chart for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Toggle laces won't stay tightened.
Ensure the toggle is fully engaged and pulled tight. Check if the lace material has become excessively smooth; sometimes a small knot can be tied temporarily behind the toggle for extra security.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose despite adjustments.
Experiment with how you position the toggle. Try re-lacing the toggle through the eyelets slightly differently or adjust the overall length of the lace ends.
Discomfort in the arch area.
The N-lock webbing and midsole provide support. If discomfort persists, consider using an aftermarket insole that offers a different arch profile, ensuring it fits well with the toggle lacing.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try cleaning the outsole and midsole. If the sound persists, it might be from internal components and may lessen with continued wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials or the animal-print pattern.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains on the sole, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp or damage the shoe.
- Laces: If the toggle laces become dirty, they can typically be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before use.
