Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper materials are designed for durability, you should clean them using a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust or dry mud. If stains occur, a gentle, mild soap solution on a damp cloth is typically sufficient; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the supportive foam and adhesives. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue color from fading over time.
