FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the New Balance 996 v2 is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker and is not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running. It lacks the specialized support and cushioning required for running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of leather cleaner with a damp cloth, then wipe clean. Finish with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.

What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip. Lace them up to feel how they conform to your foot.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The leather can withstand light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

What are the silver accents made of?

The silver accents are part of the shoe's design, typically made of leather or synthetic materials that complement the main blue leather construction.

What is the main difference between v1 and v2 of the 996?

Minor updates often occur between versions, which may include subtle changes to materials, sole construction, or aesthetic details for improved comfort or style. Specific details would depend on the exact model comparison.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If the issue persists after break-in, consider if the size is appropriate.

Leather creasing excessively

This is a natural characteristic of leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize unnatural creasing. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain shape.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

While designed to be slip-resistant, extreme conditions or highly polished surfaces may still pose a risk. Ensure the soles are clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The New Balance 996 v2 is designed for adult unisex wear and pairs well with a wide range of casual attire. They are compatible with standard sock sizes.
