FAQs

Are the New Balance 993 trainers suitable for running?

The 993 trainers are designed primarily for comfort and everyday wear, featuring excellent cushioning. While they can handle light jogging, they are not specialized for high-impact running and may lack the specific support features of dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely. Avoid using water excessively or harsh chemicals.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the manufacturing cost is incurred in the United States, reflecting New Balance's commitment to domestic production and quality standards.

Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, making it possible to accommodate custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized support.

What is the main difference between the 993 and older 99X models?

The 993 model was designed to combine the best elements of the 991 and 992, featuring a refined design and fine-tuned ABZORB midsole cushioning for enhanced comfort and performance.

How should I store my New Balance 993 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new laces. Ensure they are tied comfortably but not excessively tight to avoid unnecessary stress.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ABZORB is durable, cushioning naturally degrades with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant comfort loss is experienced.

Suede losing its texture or color

Use a dedicated suede protector spray. Clean stains immediately with appropriate suede cleaners. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check socks for proper fit and material.
