FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 997R are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activity, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the specialized support required for serious training.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For more persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid using water on suede as it can cause staining.
What material is the midsole made of?
The midsole is made of soft foam, designed to provide cushioning and comfort for everyday wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and suede materials.
What is the lacing system like?
The trainers feature a traditional 6-hole lacing system, allowing for adjustable fit and secure fastening.
Are there other colors available?
This guide specifically covers the grey variant. Please check the product catalog for availability of other colors or models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather and suede can stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness may indicate an incorrect fit. Try wearing thinner socks or consider alternative lacing methods.
Suede getting dirty
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Treat stains as soon as possible.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive folding. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
