FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Gator Run is inspired by athletic footwear, it is designed for lifestyle and casual use. It does not contain the advanced cushioning required for long-distance running.

How do I know if the size fits correctly?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, with a secure fit around the midfoot.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No. Machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to dry, gentle cleaning methods.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the New Balance Gator Run is designed to be a versatile, unisex model suitable for a wide range of adult foot shapes.

What is the best way to handle rain?

Avoid wearing them in heavy downpours. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from heat sources like radiators.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or worn

Use a suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the nap of the material and restore the texture.

Laces coming undone

Double-knot the laces or swap for a high-friction cotton lace if the original material is too smooth for your preference.

Minor scuff marks

Gently rub the affected area with a soft, clean white pencil eraser to buff out surface-level scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gator Run trainers, begin by ensuring you have selected the correct UK size for your foot. For the best comfort, pair these shoes with mid-weight cotton socks.

Care instructions:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the suede panels.
  2. Stain Treatment: Apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly using a clean cloth.

  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
