FAQs
What materials are the Gator Run trainers made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh and suede, with black leather 'N' insignias.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Gator Run trainers are designed for general use and light athletic activities. They are not specialized for long-distance running like marathon shoes.
How do I clean the green suede parts?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
What does the 'Gator Run' name signify?
The name likely refers to the aggressive, sharp-toothed lugs on the outsole, inspired by turf performance and providing a tenacious grip.
What is the main benefit of the outsole design?
The sharp-toothed lugs are designed to provide enhanced grip and traction, particularly on athletic turf surfaces, but beneficial for varied terrain.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the 'Dry Lime' and 'Mosaic Green' variant, New Balance often releases popular models in a range of colors. Please check available listings for other options.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or poor fit
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If unsure, consult the New Balance size chart or try them on in-store. Break them in gradually.
Suede material staining
Apply a suede protector spray before first use. For existing stains, use a suede brush or specialized suede cleaner. Avoid water exposure.
Reduced grip on outsole
Clean the sharp-toothed lugs of any embedded dirt or debris using a damp cloth or a small brush.
