FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 997 generally fits true to standard adult UK sizing.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and structural components of the 997 series; hand cleaning is recommended.
Is this model suitable for running?
While these shoes offer good support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is a mix of premium nubuck, pebbled leather, and breathable mesh.
How do I best protect the suede/leather?
Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather can help preserve the material's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on leather panels
Use a gentle leather cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to buff out stains.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 997 trainers stay in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush. For leather and nubuck, use a damp cloth and specialized cleaning solutions designed for leather footwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black and grey tones over time.
- Moisture: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit suitable for most foot shapes, though they are specifically sized for adult UK measurements.
