FAQs
How do I choose the correct size for New Balance 998 trainers?
Measure your foot length from heel to the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or New Balance. If your measurement falls between sizes, it's often recommended to size up for comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
The New Balance 998 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support for everyday activities. They are not intended as specialized performance footwear for running or high-impact sports.
What is the primary material used in the New Balance 998 trainers?
These trainers typically feature a combination of premium materials, including leather and suede, which contribute to their durability and classic aesthetic.
How should I clean my black and grey New Balance 998s?
Gently clean with a soft brush and a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?
'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is manufactured and assembled in the United States, reflecting New Balance's commitment to domestic production and quality craftsmanship.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some resilience, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Double-check foot measurements against the provided sizing guide. Consider the width (D-Width mentioned in some variants) if available and consult customer support for exchanges if needed.
Material scuffing or wear
For minor scuffs on leather, a leather cleaner or conditioner can help. For general wear, ensure proper care and avoid excessive exposure to abrasive surfaces.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure laces are adjusted properly for a snug but not tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.
