FAQs

Are the New Balance 993 trainers suitable for running?

The 993 trainers are designed with excellent cushioning for everyday comfort and light activities. While they offer good support, they are not engineered for high-intensity running or athletic training compared to specialized running shoes.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot. The UK 11 size mentioned is specific to this product listing; ensure you check available sizes for your specific needs.

What is the primary difference between the 993 and other 99X models?

The 993 model refined elements from the 991 and 992, featuring a streamlined design and fine-tuned ABZORB midsole cushioning for enhanced comfort and support.

How often should I clean my 993 trainers?

The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For daily wear, spot cleaning as needed and a more thorough clean every few weeks or months is generally sufficient. Always allow them to air dry.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede and mesh can be affected by heavy rain. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions and to treat them with a water-repellent spray if necessary.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' signifies that a domestic value of 70% or more is used in the shoe. It reflects New Balance's commitment to manufacturing in the United States, often associated with higher quality standards and craftsmanship.

What is the main benefit of the ABZORB Technology?

ABZORB Technology is designed to absorb shock, providing superior cushioning and reducing the impact on your feet and joints during wear. This contributes significantly to the overall comfort of the trainers.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit

Wear the trainers with thin socks initially, and they may stretch slightly with wear. Consider using a shoe stretcher if needed.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Reduced cushioning over time

While durable, cushioning can lessen with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear, or explore adding supportive insoles.

Colors bleeding or transferring

This can occur with new shoes, especially in wet conditions. Allow shoes to dry completely before wearing. Consider using a protective spray designed for suede and leather.
