FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 610 'Poppy' trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for walking but are not engineered with the specific support and cushioning required for intense running.
How do I clean the red and grey materials?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
What does 'Poppy' refer to in the name?
'Poppy' refers to the vibrant red colourway of these specific trainers, distinguishing them from other colour options within the 610 series.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While they can handle light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to discomfort and potential damage to the materials. It's best to let them air dry completely if they get wet.
What is the main difference between the 610 series and other New Balance trainers?
The 610 series often blends trail-running inspired elements with a lifestyle aesthetic, offering a robust yet casual profile. Specific features can vary across models within the series.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart and measure your foot if unsure. These are listed in UK adult sizing. Compare your measurement to the provided chart for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit on arrival
Try wearing them around the house with thin socks for a short period to allow the materials to naturally mold to your foot shape. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Slight colour transfer on socks
This can sometimes occur with new, brightly coloured footwear. It often reduces after a few wears. Avoid wearing with very light-coloured socks initially.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with ones that have better grip if the issue persists.
