FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use rather than high-performance distance running.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
Refer to the specific UK size guidelines; if you typically wear thicker socks or have wider feet, consider your usual fit preference compared to other New Balance models.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and structural adhesives. Use hand-cleaning methods instead.
What is the primary material used?
The 997 Sport uses a combination of high-quality synthetic and textile materials aimed at providing both durability and breathability.
Are these unisex?
While the 997 Sport line includes models for both men and unisex sizing, this specific model is tailored for men's sizing requirements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thickness socks and allow for a brief break-in period for the materials to soften.
Accumulation of surface dust
Gently wipe the exterior with a microfiber cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to reach into the textured areas of the upper.
Sole grip appears slippery on wet floors
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove any potential wax or residue from floors that may cause reduced traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 997 Sport trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them indoors for a few hours at a time to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading and degradation of the soles.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with tapered trousers, jeans, or athletic shorts, maintaining a clean, streamlined look.
