FAQs
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology from New Balance that absorbs shock and provides a responsive feel, helping to reduce the impact on your feet.
Are the New Balance 993 trainers suitable for running?
The 993 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support, making them suitable for walking, standing, and light jogging. For intense or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes might provide more specialized features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive rubbing.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and the cushioning components. Hand clean using a soft brush and a damp cloth.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?
It indicates that at least 70% of the shoe's value is represented by domestic manufacturing and sourcing, reflecting New Balance's commitment to producing footwear in the United States.
How do the 993s combine elements from the 991 and 992?
The 993 model integrated the streamlined design principles of the 991 with the advanced cushioning refinements found in the 992, creating a balanced and improved overall shoe.
What materials are used in the New Balance 993?
These trainers utilize a mix of breathable mesh for the upper, complemented by suede and synthetic overlays for structure and durability. The midsole features ABZORB and ENCAP technologies, with a rubber outsole for traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, try wearing them for short periods to allow the materials to break in. Consider using thinner socks.
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Check for any debris trapped in the sole. Moisture between the insole and midsole can also cause squeaking; try removing the insole and ensuring it's dry.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The ABZORB cushioning is designed for longevity, but its responsiveness can diminish over extensive use. Ensure the midsole is clean, as dirt can sometimes affect the feel. If the shoes are significantly worn, the cushioning may need time to recover after activity.
Discoloration of suede or mesh
Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged direct sunlight or harsh weather conditions. Clean stains promptly with appropriate methods for suede and mesh, and always air dry away from heat.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the suede and mesh components, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the ENCAP midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any debris is removed from the tread.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the materials and color.
