FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance 993s generally follow standard sizing, but we recommend measuring your feet and following our sizing advice if you fall between sizes.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the suede materials. We recommend spot cleaning only.
Are the 993s suitable for running?
While they provide great support, the 993 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking shoe rather than a high-intensity running trainer.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of high-quality suede and durable mesh fabrics.
Is the unisex sizing consistent for men and women?
Yes, but ensure you convert correctly between men's and women's sizing scales if necessary, as the fit is designed for a unisex profile.
Does the colour fade over time?
As with most suede footwear, some minor fading is natural; however, storing them out of direct sunlight will significantly extend the longevity of the grey colour.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system starting from the eyelets closest to the toes to relieve pressure.
Visible spots or water stains on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of white vinegar to gently dab and lift the stain.
Sole grip feels slippery on polished surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are clean of debris, as dried mud or gravel can reduce surface contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe before purchasing. If your measurement sits between two sizes, always opt for the larger size to avoid discomfort.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and fabric sections.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to protect against the elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
