FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday running?

Yes, the New Balance 993 was originally designed for runners and has evolved to offer enhanced performance, making it suitable for everyday running, training, and walking with excellent comfort and support.

How do I clean the blue suede material?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently rub with a suede eraser or use a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What does ENCAP midsole technology mean?

ENCAP refers to New Balance's core cushioning technology, which features a durable polyurethane rim encapsulating a soft EVA foam core. This combination provides excellent shock absorption, support, and durability.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the `rubber outsole` provides traction, the suede upper is not fully waterproof and can be susceptible to water damage and staining. It's recommended to treat the shoes with a water-repellent spray for suede and to avoid heavy rain or puddles.

Are the insoles removable for custom orthotics?

Yes, the `synthetic suede sockliner` insoles in the New Balance 993 are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized comfort and support.

Is the sizing true to fit?

New Balance 993 models are generally considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's always best to consult New Balance's official sizing guide or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears flattened, dull, or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth, then brush.

Shoes feel less supportive or comfortable over time.

The `ENCAP midsole` is durable, but insoles can wear out. Consider replacing the original insoles with new ones, either standard or specialized, to refresh the internal cushioning and support.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.

Remove the `synthetic suede sockliner` and air out the shoes. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then vacuum it out. Ensure socks are clean and feet are dry before wearing.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, good-quality laces.

Care

Maintaining the condition of your New Balance 993 shoes, especially the `suede and mesh uppers`, is crucial for longevity and appearance.

  1. Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently brush the suede with a specialized `suede brush` to restore the nap. For the mesh, use a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains on suede, use a `suede eraser` to gently rub away marks. For more stubborn stains on either material, use a specialized `shoe cleaner` designed for suede and mesh. Apply with a soft cloth or brush, following the product instructions.
  3. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a `water and stain protector` spray specifically designed for suede and textile shoes. This creates a barrier against moisture and helps prevent staining.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your New Balance 993 shoes as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
