Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. If the issue persists, consider using thicker or thinner socks, or consult New Balance sizing guides to ensure you have the correct UK size.
Discoloration or marks on the upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Outsole appears worn
Normal wear and tear can occur with regular use. For minor wear, cleaning the outsole can help restore grip. Significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.
Whistle function is not working
Ensure the whistle is not obstructed by debris. Try to blow into it firmly. If damaged, it may not be repairable and is primarily a design element.
