FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 996 series is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and low-impact activity rather than high-mileage running.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
We recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you plan to use with the shoes and comparing the length against a standard UK size chart.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, do not use a dryer. Heat can damage the adhesive and compress the cushioning, leading to premature wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These shoes are not manufactured with waterproof materials; it is recommended to avoid heavy rain or puddles to maintain their condition.
How should I store my New Balance 996s?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading and degradation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly too tight or too loose
Consider swapping the factory insole for a thinner or thicker aftermarket insole to adjust the internal volume.
Visible surface stains on the fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected area with a mixture of water and gentle detergent, then blot dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, verify your size using a standard UK foot measurement guide before ordering, as the 996 fit can be distinct. For maintenance, keep your trainers away from extreme heat sources to protect the midsole cushioning properties. Clean the exterior by gently wiping away surface dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural materials. Air dry your shoes at room temperature to prevent material warping.
