FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 996 generally runs true to standard UK sizing, providing a snug, supportive fit characteristic of the 996 series.

Can I use these for marathon running?

No. While they are comfortable for light jogging and daily wear, they are classified as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the specialized technical support required for long-distance running.

How do I ensure I am buying a genuine pair?

Every pair of New Balance 996 Trainers described here comes in its original packaging, which is the primary indicator of an authentic, genuine product.

Are these trainers water-resistant?

The materials used are typical for standard trainers and are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials and the vibrancy of the blue color.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight during the first wear

The 996 series is known for a snug, supportive fit. Try wearing thinner socks for the first few sessions to allow the internal padding to contour naturally to your foot shape.

Visible scuffs or dirt on the blue fabric

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or a very mild soapy mixture with a soft sponge, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing harshly to preserve the fabric texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek and versatile aesthetic for casual styling
  • Reliable supportive fit for daily wear
  • High-quality construction and authentic branding
  • Fresh, vibrant color scheme

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity professional athletic training
  • Limited to specific size ranges
  • Light colorway may show dirt more easily than darker options

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.
