FAQs

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Measure your foot length from the heel's furthest point to the tip of your longest toe. If your measurement falls between two standard sizes, it is generally recommended to consult the specific product sizing advice or consider trying the next size up.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 997R trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support for walking and general activities, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the specific cushioning or stability required for intense running.

What is the material composition of the trainers?

The product description mentions 'Shadow Grey' and 'Rain Cloud' colorways, often indicative of suede, mesh, and synthetic materials commonly used in New Balance trainers for a balance of durability, breathability, and style. Specific material details may be found on the product's original packaging or label.

How should I clean the grey suede parts?

For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap can be used, followed by air drying. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the trainers offer a degree of protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials and maintain comfort. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for footwear.

What is the return policy if the size is wrong?

The product information does not detail the return policy. However, the seller, 'Drop Zone', specializes in authentic footwear and has been selling online for over 10 years. It is recommended to check the specific return policy details provided at the time of purchase or contact the seller directly for information regarding exchanges or returns for incorrect sizing.

Are these trainers unisex?

The product description refers to them as 'Unisex Sneakers'. While the specific listing is for a men's size UK 6.5, the '997R Shadow Grey Unisex Sneakers' title indicates they are intended for both male and female wearers.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare with the New Balance sizing chart. If between sizes, consider the recommendation to size up or down based on the product description and personal preference. Ensure you are using the correct measurement method.

Initial stiffness or discomfort

New shoes, especially trainers, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to mold to your feet.

Color appears different from online images

Monitor lighting and display settings can affect color perception. The product description notes potential display device differences. Refer to multiple images if available and consider the 'Shadow Grey/Rain Cloud' description.

Signs of wear after minimal use

Inspect the shoes for any manufacturing defects. If the wear seems excessive for the usage, contact the seller with photographic evidence for potential warranty or return options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no assembly and are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility: The New Balance 997R trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with standard athletic or casual socks. While suitable for most casual outfits, their specific color and style lend themselves well to streetwear and everyday attire.

Care: To maintain the condition of your New Balance 997R trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, especially on the grey suede or mesh components.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
