FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean these leather trainers by hand using a damp cloth to avoid damaging the materials.
Is the New Balance 530 suitable for running?
While these shoes are supportive, they are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not specifically engineered for high-intensity running or gym performance.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most leather footwear, the shoe will gently mold to the shape of your foot after a short break-in period.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adults.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior is constructed from durable leather, designed for both aesthetic appeal and structural longevity.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The leather upper provides some protection, but it is not waterproof. If they get wet, dry them slowly at room temperature.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.
Foot discomfort during initial wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension and wear the shoes for shorter periods to allow for the natural break-in process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these care and maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the leather finish.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading.
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for adults; ensure you select your correct UK size for optimal fit.
- Maintenance: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally after exposure to damp conditions; do not place them directly on heaters or radiators.
