FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 996 is primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than performance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
This variant is a UK size 8. We recommend comparing this with your current best-fitting shoes or measuring your feet using a standard size guide.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as it can damage the materials and structural integrity. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, most New Balance trainers feature removable inserts, which can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly too snug.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room in the midfoot area or ensure you are wearing socks of the appropriate thickness.
Outer materials are showing signs of dust or light stains.
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away surface-level debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: This model is a UK size 8, so ensure your feet are measured accurately against standard New Balance sizing charts to prevent discomfort.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter durations for the first few days to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the exterior. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or degrading over time.
