FAQs

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

It indicates that the shoe was manufactured in the United States, signifying a commitment to quality craftsmanship and sourcing.

How do the ABZORB and ENCAP technologies work together?

ABZORB provides advanced cushioning and shock absorption in the heel and forefoot, while ENCAP combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim for support and longevity.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 993 is designed more for walking, daily wear, and light athletic activities. For serious running, consider New Balance's dedicated running shoe lines.

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

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and regular use, these trainers can last for several years, depending on the intensity and frequency of wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

The trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dry suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For more persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar material and length. New Balance or other shoe accessory retailers offer replacement laces.

Sole traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the shoes are dry before use on slippery surfaces.
