Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 983 trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the textured overlays. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading of the blue colorway.
  3. Fit: These trainers are available in various sizes including UK 12.5. Ensure you verify your specific size against the New Balance sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
  4. Insoles: If you use custom orthotics, the factory-fitted insoles are generally removable to allow for a better fit.
