Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying on different sizes if possible, as variations can occur.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a suede eraser for minor marks and a soft brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or a specialized suede cleaning kit.
Reduced cushioning over time
While durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider rotating trainers or replacing them when significant wear is noticeable.
Uncomfortable after prolonged wear
Ensure the laces are tied appropriately for a secure but not overly tight fit. Check that the chosen size is correct and allow for a break-in period if the shoes are new.
