The New Balance Made In USA 1300 Shoes in Kool Grey/Harbor Grey/White mark the return of a legendary silhouette that originally redefined the standards of technical running design.

Developed as a masterpiece of balance and durability, the shoe features a sophisticated neutral palette that emphasizes its artisanal American construction, offering a refined aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from its athletic roots to modern daily wear.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The 1300 typically runs true to size, offering a secure and well-structured fit through the midfoot
• Here at the store we recommend choosing your usual size, as the suede will naturally soften and adapt to your foot shape over time
• The ENCAP sole unit provides a slightly firmer, more supportive feel compared to modern ultra-soft foam sneakers
• The traditional lacing system allows for a precision fit, accommodating various foot widths comfortably

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a specialised suede brush to remove surface dust and maintain the nap of the premium pig leather
• Avoid wearing in heavy rain, as water can cause staining on the natural suede overlays
• In case of stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat
• Keep the mesh sections clean by gently dabbing with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary

Our New Balance Made In USA 1300 Shoes FAQs

1. What makes the "Made In USA" versions different?
   These pairs are manufactured in New Balance's domestic factories using higher-grade materials and stricter quality control than standard mass-produced models.

2. Is the ENCAP sole very stiff?
   While it is firmer than some pure foam midsoles, the polyurethane rim is designed to prevent the cushioning from compressing too much, which provides better long-term foot health.

3. Does this shoe contain real leather?
   Yes, the overlays are constructed from premium pig suede, providing a soft texture and significantly better durability than synthetic alternatives.

4. Is it suitable for actual running?
   While it was a flagship performance runner in the 80s, it is now primarily regarded as a premium lifestyle shoe, though it still offers the support required for light activity.
