FAQs

Are the New Balance 993 suitable for running marathons?

While the 993 offers excellent cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and light-activity trainer. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced performance features may be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which provides measurements for foot length and width. It is recommended to measure your foot at the end of the day when feet are typically larger, and to try them on with the type of socks you usually wear.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The trainers are not waterproof. While the materials offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended. Use appropriate waterproofing sprays designed for suede and mesh if needed.

What is the difference between the 993 and other 99X series models?

The 993 was designed to combine the best elements of the 991 and 992, offering a streamlined design with fine-tuned ABZORB cushioning and support. It represents an evolution of the series' core technology and design philosophy.

How long does the cushioning typically last?

The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage intensity, frequency, and environmental conditions. With regular care and moderate use, the ABZORB cushioning can provide effective support for a considerable period, often over a year of regular wear.

Are there vegan options available in this model?

The New Balance 993 typically uses suede and leather components. For vegan alternatives, it is best to check the product specifications for specific colorways or explore other New Balance models explicitly marked as vegan.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new cushioning. Try wearing them for a few more sessions. If it persists, check for debris trapped between sole layers or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Laces wearing out quickly

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause unnecessary stress. Consider replacing with durable, high-quality replacement laces if wear is significant.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. If discomfort persists, consult the sizing guide or consider trying a different size.

Material discoloration or stains

Promptly address stains with appropriate cleaning methods for suede and mesh. Avoid exposing the shoes to harsh sunlight for prolonged periods, which can cause fading.

  • Exceptional cushioning and support from ABZORB technology.
  • Durable construction with high-quality mesh, suede, and synthetic materials.
  • Versatile retro design suitable for various casual and athletic activities.
  • Excellent traction provided by the rubber outsole.
  • Made in USA ensures a high standard of manufacturing.

Cons

  • Sizing can be specific and may require trying on or careful measurement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly before prolonged use.

Compatibility:

Designed for unisex adult wear. The trainers are compatible with various athletic and casual apparel. They are best suited for standard foot widths, though the design offers a degree of adaptability.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Uppers: Gently wipe mesh and suede areas with a soft, damp cloth. For suede, a suede brush can be used to restore texture. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Ensure all residue is removed.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain their shape and material integrity.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if needed. Hand wash or machine wash in a laundry bag on a gentle cycle.
