FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic training?

The New Balance 998 series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style. While they provide good support for walking, they are not specialized for high-impact athletic training.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

These trainers are constructed with premium materials, including leather, ensuring durability and a sophisticated appearance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, paying close attention to UK sizing, as indicated in the product details. It's recommended to measure your foot length for accuracy.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners is advised.

What is the difference between 'Core Grey Silver' and other 998 models?

The 'Core Grey Silver' refers to a specific colorway and often indicates a standard release within the 998 series, distinguishing it from special editions or collaborations that might feature different materials or design elements.

How long should I expect these trainers to last?

With proper care and regular maintenance, the durable construction of the New Balance 998 trainers should provide longevity for everyday use, typically lasting several years.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Scuffs or marks on leather

Gently clean with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner.

Fraying laces

Replace laces with new ones of a similar material and length. New Balance offers replacement laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply remove them from the box and try them on.

Compatibility: The New Balance 998 trainers are designed for adult wear. Sizing is available in UK men's and unisex options. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior, avoiding excessive water.
  2. Leather Care: For leather components, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent drying.
  3. Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
