Full details

The New Balance 996 v2 'Essential Pack Navy' (CM996NV2) is a unisex low-top sneaker designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable addition to their casual footwear collection. Its key benefit lies in its blend of classic design with modern comfort features, offering a versatile option for daily wear. A potential caveat is that while designed for adults, sizing can vary, so precise measurement is recommended. This iteration of the 996 series features a durable leather construction in a blue and silver colorway, a secure lacing closure, a round toe, and a flat heel, all contributing to its slip-resistant and cushioned performance.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 996 v2 is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning and support, they are not specifically designed as performance running shoes.

How do I clean the silver accents?

Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the silver areas. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which could damage the finish.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is typically made from rubber, providing durability and the slip-resistant properties.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider treating them with a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What does 'Essential Pack' signify?

'Essential Pack' typically refers to a collection of classic, foundational styles updated with contemporary materials and colorways, focusing on core design elements.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

The 'Essential Pack Navy' specifically refers to this blue and silver colorway. However, the New Balance 996 series is available in various other colorways and iterations.

What is the heel type?

These shoes feature a flat heel, providing a stable and grounded feel.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have measured your foot accurately according to standard UK sizing guides. Compare with the specific size chart provided by New Balance. Different models can have slight variations.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when storing. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning may naturally decrease with significant wear. Consider using aftermarket insoles for added support if needed.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While designed to be slip-resistant, extreme wet conditions can still pose a risk. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To clean the leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to maintain their shape and condition.
