FAQs

How do I measure my foot for the correct size?

Place your foot on a piece of paper, heel against a wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe. Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (where your heel was) to the mark in centimeters or inches. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by New Balance.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 998 'Black Silver' trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and support, they may not provide the specific features or performance required for dedicated running activities.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

It indicates that the shoe was manufactured in one of New Balance's factories in the United States, often associated with higher quality materials and craftsmanship.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand clean using the methods described in the care instructions.

What is the difference between this model and other 998 versions?

Different 998 versions may vary in colorways, materials used (e.g., suede, leather, mesh combinations), and specific technological updates within the midsole or upper construction.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Storing them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag is also beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Refer to the product description's advice on measuring foot length from heel to toe to ensure you selected the correct UK size. Consider trying on in-store if possible or consulting size charts.

Laces are difficult to adjust

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with a fresh pair.

Material scuffs easily

Regularly clean the shoes after wear to prevent dirt from setting in. Consider using a protective spray suitable for the shoe materials (e.g., suede or leather protector) if appropriate.
