FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. It's recommended to try them on indoors to ensure a comfortable fit before removing tags or wearing them outdoors.

Can these shoes be worn for running?

The New Balance 996 v2 is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or features for intense running activities.

How often should I clean my leather shoes?

Clean your leather shoes regularly, especially after significant wear or exposure to dirt. A quick wipe-down after each wear can help maintain their appearance. Deeper cleaning and conditioning can be done periodically, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Please refer to the retailer or New Balance official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 'Essential Pack Navy' model comes in standard width. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug. Check for availability in wider fits if this is a concern.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes as it can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning with appropriate leather care products is the best method.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try re-tying them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. This will help restore moisture and flexibility to the leather material.

Soles show signs of wear

Inspect the wear pattern. For minor wear, continued use might be fine. If significant wear or damage is present, consider replacing the shoes or consulting a cobbler for potential sole repair options.

Discoloration from water exposure

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, clean with a damp cloth and consider using a leather protector spray to help prevent future water staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The New Balance 996 v2 shoes require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure they are the correct size. Try them on indoors to check the fit before wearing them outside. Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit.

Compatibility: These low-top shoes are designed for adult use and are suitable for men and unisex wear. They are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. Their classic design pairs well with jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of the leather, clean the shoes regularly. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, followed by a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Avoid excessive exposure to water and direct heat, as this can damage the leather. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet. It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
