FAQs

What makes the ABZORB technology beneficial?

ABZORB technology provides exceptional shock absorption, dispersing impact forces away from your foot and leg, which helps reduce fatigue and discomfort during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 993 trainers are designed for running, walking, and general athletic activities. They offer good cushioning and support for lighter running or training sessions, but may not be ideal for high-impact or long-distance running compared to specialized running shoes.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, comparing your foot measurement to the corresponding UK size. These trainers are available in various UK sizes, including options like 11.5, 13, 8, 5.5, 11, 4.5, 9.5, 7, and 4.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is from domestic manufacturing and assembly, indicating a commitment to quality craftsmanship and local production.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and mesh materials.

What is the difference between the 993 and previous 99X models?

The 993 model is an evolution, combining elements from the 991 and 992 models into a streamlined design with fine-tuned ABZORB midsole cushioning. It represents a refinement of the series' core technologies.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try to identify if the noise is coming from the sole, insole, or laces. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not too tight. If the insole is removable, try cleaning it and the shoe interior.

Reduced cushioning over time

The ABZORB midsole may compress slightly with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., rigorous trail running). Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain cushioning.

Discoloration of materials

Exposure to prolonged sunlight or harsh cleaning chemicals can cause discoloration. Clean the shoes using recommended methods and store them away from direct light.
