FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 996 series has athletic roots, they are best categorized as lifestyle trainers designed for walking and casual daily use rather than high-impact athletic running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
This model is sized specifically as a UK 7.5. We recommend measuring your foot in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest for the most accurate fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How often should I clean my New Balance 996 trainers?
It is recommended to wipe them down after heavy use or if they come into contact with mud or excessive dust to maintain the fabric's integrity.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are not marketed as waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water damage to the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly too tight during first wear
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on, then re-tie them once the foot is inside to allow for better volume adjustment.
Outer sole picking up debris
Regularly inspect the tread pattern and use a toothpick or soft brush to clear out pebbles or trapped dirt to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the materials to contour to your feet.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a UK 7.5, this model is designed to provide an accurate fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a cloth; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the glue and internal structure.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
