Full details
These New Balance trainers are designed for adult males seeking a versatile everyday shoe. Their key benefit lies in the comfortable, durable leather construction combined with a grippy sole, ideal for active daily wear. A potential caveat is the thin upper, which may offer less insulation in colder conditions. Key features include a mix of leather materials for the upper, a perforated toe for breathability, and an abrasion-resistant tread for enhanced durability.

FAQs
What type of leather is used in the upper?
The trainers feature a mix of leathers, providing a blend of durability and classic style.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent excessive creasing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What is the main advantage of the perforated toe?
The perforations enhance breathability, allowing for better airflow to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to a standard UK men's shoe sizing chart and measure your foot length accurately. Sizes can vary slightly between brands.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes happen with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If it persists, check if the insole is loose or try sprinkling a little talcum powder under the insole.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is normal with leather. Ensure the shoes fit correctly; if they are too large, excessive creasing can occur. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the tread is designed for grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the tread is clean from debris. For added traction in wet conditions, consider specialized footwear.
