FAQs
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, consider trying the larger size or checking specific New Balance sizing charts for the 997R model.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 997R trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They are not designed for high-impact or long-distance running.
What material are the trainers made of?
While specific material composition can vary, these trainers typically feature a combination of durable upper materials and a supportive sole, designed for comfort and longevity.
How should I clean the grey trainers?
Gently clean with a soft brush for dry dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for stains, and allow them to air dry away from heat.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may not be ideal and could affect the material and comfort.

The flat heel provides a stable base, offering good ground contact and balance, which is beneficial for everyday walking and standing.

Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets for a secure hold.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size by measuring your foot. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Dirt or stains on the trainers
Follow the care instructions provided, using a damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
