Full details

The New Balance 996 v2 'Essential Pack Navy' CM996NV2 trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, stylish, and functional low-top sneaker. Offering excellent cushioning and slip-resistant properties, these shoes are ideal for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that while unisex, sizing runs according to UK men's standards, so women may need to adjust their usual size. Key features include a durable leather upper, comfortable cushioning, a round toe for ample space, and a flat heel for stability.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 996 v2 are designed primarily as casual trainers. While they offer cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and technology required for intense athletic training.

How do I determine the correct size for women?

These trainers are listed with UK men's sizing. For women, it is generally recommended to go down 1.5 to 2 sizes from your usual women's UK size. For example, if you typically wear a UK 7 women's, consider a UK 5.5 or UK 5.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The trainers have a slip-resistant sole which offers some protection, but the leather material is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to water penetration and potential damage to the leather if not properly cared for.

What is the main benefit of the 'Essential Pack' designation?

The 'Essential Pack' typically signifies a collection of core, classic styles that focus on reliable materials and foundational design elements, ensuring timeless appeal and dependable performance for everyday wear.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed based on use and visible dirt. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth after wear can help maintain their appearance. A more thorough cleaning using leather cleaner can be done periodically.

What does 'CM996NV2' mean?

CM996NV2 is the specific product code or model number for this version of the New Balance 996 trainers, indicating the 'Essential Pack' and the 'v2' iteration.

Troubleshooting
