Key Features

• Cush+ Midsole: Provides responsive cushioning and comfort, designed to absorb impact during various movements.

Setup and Initial Use

1. Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging. Inspect them for any visible defects or damage.
2. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving them too loose, which can cause instability.
3. First Fit: Wear the shoes with the type of socks you typically use for training. Walk around to assess the fit. Your toes should have room to wiggle, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.
4. Break-in Period: While these shoes are designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period with light activity is recommended to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Operating (Usage Guidelines)

The New Balance 717v2 Training Shoe is designed for a variety of indoor and outdoor training activities. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

• Intended Use: These shoes are suitable for general fitness training, gym workouts, cross-training, and light running. They are not specifically designed for competitive long-distance running or specialized sports requiring specific footwear characteristics.
• Surface Considerations: The rubber outsole provides traction on various surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or uneven terrain.
• Proper Fit: Always ensure your shoes are properly laced and fitted before beginning any activity to prevent injury and maximize support.
• Listen to Your Body: If you experience discomfort or pain during use, discontinue the activity and consult a professional if necessary.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your training shoes:

• Cleaning:
  • Remove loose dirt with a soft brush.
  • Mix a small amount of mild detergent with warm water.
  • Dampen a cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the exterior of the shoes.
  • Rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe away any soap residue.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
• Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
• Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
• Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can also be used.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common concerns:

• Shoe feels too tight or too loose: Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Lacing can significantly impact fit; try adjusting the tension across different sections of the foot. Note that some users find New Balance shoes can run slightly small, so consider trying a half size up if discomfort persists.
• Lack of support: Verify that the shoes are laced securely. If you require additional arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles, ensuring they fit properly within the shoe.
• Squeaking noise: This can sometimes occur if the insole rubs against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.
