FAQs
Is the New Balance 850 suitable for long-distance running?
No, the 850 is a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual, everyday wear rather than performance running.
How do I determine my size in this model?
This model follows standard adult UK sizing; verify your size against our provided variant list to find the correct fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
We recommend avoiding the washing machine to protect the embroidered details and mesh construction; manual spot cleaning is safer.

Are these sneakers unisex?
While some variants are designed for specific genders, the silhouette itself is highly versatile and frequently worn across all genders.
What is the primary material used on the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from breathable mesh, often paired with leather and synthetic overlays for structure.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh material
Gently use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to dab at the area.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Ensure you are using a double knot or a high-friction lacing technique to keep the web-aligned eyelets secure.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its structure and reduce deep crease formation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 850 sneakers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines. Given the mesh upper, it is best to avoid machine washing, which can damage the delicate webbing and embroidery. Instead, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a cloth to spot-clean the mesh and leather areas, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. When sizing, note that these follow standard adult UK sizing; if you plan to wear thicker socks, consider this when choosing your fit.
