Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 997 Sport trainers stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black fabric over time. If they become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris, and spot-clean using a mild soap solution on a soft cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the midsole. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks that match the thickness you plan to use daily.
