FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they incorporate performance cushioning technology from New Balance's athletic line, their slip-on loafer design makes them primarily suited for casual wear and comfort, not high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, paying close attention to the UK sizing. Ensure your foot measurements align with the specified dimensions for the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and affect its appearance. It's best to save these for dry weather.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is primarily constructed from premium suede, complemented by nylon elements and featuring ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning in the sole.
Are there other color options available?

How does the slip-on design affect the fit?
The slip-on design offers convenience and ease of wear. It provides a relaxed fit, which may be slightly looser than lace-up shoes. Consider insoles or heel grips for a more secure feel if necessary.
What is the warranty period for New Balance shoes?
New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please check the specific warranty information provided at the time of purchase or on the official New Balance website for details.
Troubleshooting
Suede getting wet or stained
Immediately blot excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material and follow the product instructions. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Fit feels too loose
While designed as a slip-on, consider using a thin insole or heel grips to improve the snugness of the fit if needed.
Color transfer from suede
This can sometimes happen with new suede. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks or trousers, especially in damp conditions, until the material has settled. Suede protectant sprays can also help minimize color transfer.
