FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede and nubuck materials are porous. It is recommended to use a protective spray before wearing them in damp conditions.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles can be removed if you require custom orthotics.
How do I clean the white parts of the sole?
A magic eraser or a simple mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush will effectively clean the rubber outsole.
Are these suitable for intense sports?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and everyday casual use rather than intense sports.
Do they run true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 997 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to ensure they have the correct width fitting.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather panels
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Dust buildup on suede
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture of the fabric.
General fit discomfort
Ensure the mesh inner sleeve is pulled taut and not bunched up during entry; if the fit is too tight, adjust the lacing pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature suede and nubuck, moisture management is critical. Use a dedicated water-repellent spray for suede to prevent light water damage. When cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the leather and rubber portions. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour panels from fading. The neutral colour palette pairs easily with denim, chinos, or athletic wear, making them a highly compatible addition to any wardrobe.
