FAQs
Are New Balance 993s suitable for running?
While exceptionally comfortable for daily wear and walking, the New Balance 993 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a performance running shoe. For dedicated running, New Balance offers other models specifically engineered for that purpose.
How do I best clean the grey suede material?
To clean the suede, gently brush off loose dirt with a specialized suede brush. For spots, use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of suede cleaner according to its instructions, then brush the nap to restore its texture. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
What does 'MiUSA' mean on the shoe?
'MiUSA' stands for 'Made in USA.' This designation indicates that the shoes are manufactured in the United States, often implying premium craftsmanship, materials, and strict quality control standards.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 993s?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the New Balance 993, especially due to its suede components. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always opt for spot cleaning and hand care methods.
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 993 generally runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. If you are unsure, it's often best to try them on or consult a New Balance sizing chart for reference.
How can I protect my suede New Balance 993s from water and stains?
To protect your suede 993s, apply a high-quality suede and fabric protector spray before their first wear. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray manufacturer to maintain water and stain resistance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaning solution, always following product instructions.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprays designed for footwear. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Shoes feel less supportive over time
Check the condition of the insoles. Worn-out insoles can be replaced with new, supportive ones. Ensure laces are tied properly to provide adequate foot stability.
Water spots or marks on suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally, then use a suede brush to gently rub the affected area. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Consider applying a water-repellent spray to prevent future occurrences.

Care
Maintaining your New Balance 993 MiUSA involves specific care due to its suede and mesh materials:
