FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 996 is primarily a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not designed for high-impact running or intense athletic training.
How do I find my correct size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you typically wear in casual footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the primary difference between the 996 and 574 series?
The 996 series typically features a slimmer, more streamlined profile compared to the slightly chunkier, more robust aesthetic of the 574 series.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The 996 has a classic, standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width snug and might prefer to size up or seek out specific wide-fit variations if available.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight upon first wear
Lifestyle trainers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Visible surface dust or light soil
Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift dirt from the fabric and leather overlays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers maintain their look and feel, consider the following:
- Fit Check: Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot profile as these are standard fit sneakers.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading.
- Rotation: Allow the shoes to air out between wears to maintain interior hygiene and support.
