FAQs
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. It typically involves measuring your foot length and comparing it to the corresponding UK size. Given these are unisex, checking the specific fit guide is recommended.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The 993 features excellent cushioning (ABZORB) and support (ENCAP) ideal for everyday wear and light athletic activities. However, for marathon running, specialized running shoes designed for that specific purpose might offer more tailored support and performance features.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 993. The materials, especially the suede and leather overlays, can be damaged by the washing machine. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners for suede and mesh is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the 993 and other New Balance models?
The 993 combines features from the 991 and 992, focusing on refined ABZORB cushioning and ENCAP midsole technology for a balance of comfort and support. It represents a significant evolution in the 99X series for its time.
How should I store my 993 sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe tree or box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight, which can fade colors and degrade materials.
What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?
The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that a significant portion of the manufacturing and components originated in the United States, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and the brand's heritage.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try loosening the laces slightly or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The ABZORB cushioning may naturally compact with extensive use. Ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. For significant degradation, consider replacing the insoles.
Suede material looking dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions and allow to air dry completely.
