New Balance 996 v2 'Essential Pack Navy' - Low Shoes - Blue/Silver - UK 11

The main benefits include versatile cushioning for comfort, a slip-resistant sole for better grip, and a durable leather construction for longevity and style.

These shoes are best suited for casual wear and walking. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically designed as performance running shoes.

Wipe with a dry cloth for dust. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The 'Essential Pack' typically denotes a collection of classic or core models offered in essential colorways, focusing on foundational style and comfort.

While listed for males, the unisex nature of many low shoes means women may find them suitable if the sizing and fit are appropriate for their feet.

The closure type is lacing, which allows for an adjustable and secure fit customized to the wearer's preference.

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking indoors can help them mold to your feet without causing excessive wear or discomfort.

Loosen the laces, especially around the lacing area, and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

Ensure laces are adequately tightened. If the issue persists on very smooth surfaces, the slip-resistant feature is designed for normal conditions and may have limitations on exceptionally slick materials.

Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
