FAQs
How do I measure my foot for the correct size?
Place your foot on a flat surface with your heel against a wall. Measure from the wall to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement to the New Balance sizing chart.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance 998 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running.
What is the material of the 'Black Silver' trainers?
These trainers are primarily constructed with high-quality leather for the upper, contributing to their durability and classic appearance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather can offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
What does 'Made In USA' signify?
This designation indicates that the product has been manufactured in the United States, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality and domestic production.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, the laces can be replaced with standard shoelaces. You can choose laces of a similar color or a contrasting shade to customize the look.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty finding the right size
Measure your foot length carefully and consult the detailed sizing guide provided. Consider trying on a pair in-store if possible.
