FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the New Balance 996 is a lifestyle trainer designed for walking and casual daily use, not for running.

Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these trainers in a machine as it may damage the materials and adhesives.
Do these shoes come with a warranty?
Please check your specific purchase receipt or contact the retailer for details on manufacturer warranty coverage.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or third-party comfort insoles if desired.
How long will these trainers last?
Lifespan depends on frequency of use and care, but typical daily wearers see 6-12 months of optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface stains
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently dab the affected area.
Slippage during wear
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot to secure the heel properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers maintain their shape and look, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for spot cleaning the upper materials. For long-term compatibility, it is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time. Check the fit regularly, as walking habits can shift over time, and replace the insole if you notice the structural integrity of the cushioning has declined.
