FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday use, offering cushioning and support. They are not specialized for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I clean the silver accents?

Gently wipe the silver accents with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching or damage to the finish.

What is the main benefit of the leather material?

The leather material provides durability, a premium look and feel, and molds to the wearer's foot over time for improved comfort.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather can offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to care for them afterwards if they get wet.

How should I store my New Balance 996 v2 trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

What does 'Essential Pack' signify?

The 'Essential Pack' typically refers to a collection of core, timeless styles that New Balance releases, emphasizing classic design and reliable quality.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If still tight after breaking in, consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Leather scuffs or marks appear

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your shoe's leather type. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. Note that while designed for slip-resistance, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a risk.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
