FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend using a sneaker-specific water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
Are they suitable for gym use?
They are suitable for light gym activities, but are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance technical sports shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
The shoes are listed in standard UK sizing. If you have worn New Balance before, we recommend sticking to your typical size for this brand.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What is the best way to clean the black fabric?
Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner or a very light mixture of water and gentle soap, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing harshly to preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural occurrence in athletic shoes. Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the structural shape.
Difficulty putting on
Loosen the laces significantly from the bottom up to ensure you do not crush the heel counter while inserting your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 997 Sport trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and upper materials.
- Stain Removal: Use a mild, non-abrasive detergent and a damp cloth to spot clean. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Fit: Ensure you are using the correct UK size, as the 997 series features a specific fit profile.
