FAQs
What do the numbers on New Balance shoes mean?
Making sense of the numbering system for New Balance running shoes may appear challenging at first, but it’s easy to understand once you know what the numbers mean. If you’re after fashion shoes with high stability for walking, opt for New Balance runners that end in lower numbers, such as the 40, 50 and 60 models.
For those looking for the perfect long-distance running shoe, middle-numbered New Balance sneaker models, including 70 and 80, are lightweight and have unparalleled cushioning. The highest numbers, 90 and 00, have been crafted for speed — providing superior fit and ride, ideal for professional and competitive athletes.
What is the difference between New Balance Heritage and New Balance Lifestyle shoes?
The New Balance Heritage range draws inspiration from New Balance’s past classic styles to create modern, functional styles. It’s a retro look paired with contemporary tech to ensure that you still have shoes that can perform at the highest standard.
New Balance Lifestyle also draws on classic athletic looks but has been repurposed to provide a more casual, trendy look. Perfect for low-energy activity and impressing a contemporary edge on your street style, New Balance runners are sure to impress friends and family.
Do New Balance shoes run big?
Never too big or too small, just right. New Balance sneakers are true to size and will allow your foot to naturally flex and adjust inside the shoe without slipping. Designed for superior wear, New Balance running shoes closely follow the silhouette of your foot for a secure fit that will allow you to land, lift off and rotate your ankle safely with ease.
Whether you’re shopping with us in-store at a Foot Locker in Perth or perusing our New Balance range online in Sydney, you can enjoy the confidence of trusting your New Balance runners will fit the same way no matter what style you select or wherever you call home.
How can I clean New Balance shoes? Do I need to do anything special for suede?
After experiencing the comfort and stability of a pair of New Balance running shoes, you’ll likely wear them wherever you go. And naturally, your New Balance sneakers, like any shoe, will get dirty after long periods of wear.
When this happens, we suggest you dry-clean your New Balance shoes using a soft bristle brush to wick off dirt and debris before washing with a mild cleaning agent and microfibre cloth. Finish by air drying them away from the sun, and consider using a protective waterproofing spray to keep your pairs of New Balance looking as good as new.
We know our sneakerheads are pedantic about the look of the New Balance shoes as much as their performance. We suggest using a cleaning agent that doesn’t contain fabric dyes and uses a silicone base to condition and preserve your footwear's design.
Additionally, ensure that you use a dedicated suede cleaner for any suede upholstery to ensure they don’t dull or over-dry and stiffen. Lastly, never put your New Balance sneakers in the washing machine — it can seriously damage them.
What should I wear with New Balance shoes?
New Balance shoes feature a contemporary design that seamlessly matches almost any activity and occasion. For an athletic look, pair New Balance runners with track pants or shorts and a jacket or hoodie. A get-up perfect for lounging around the home or teaming your New Balance sneakers with chinos and shirts to add a contemporary edge when heading out on the town.
But New Balance kicks also pair well with any casual clothing — jeans and a tee are a classic look for men and women alike. Feel free to experiment and mix it up! The best New Balance running shoes are the ones that make you feel good about your outfit.
