FAQs

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

It signifies that a significant portion of the manufacturing process for these specific trainers took place in the United States, often associated with higher quality standards and heritage craftsmanship.

Are the New Balance 996 suitable for running marathons?

The 996 series is generally designed for comfort and everyday wear, offering good support for casual running and walking. For marathon-level performance, dedicated running shoes with advanced cushioning and stability features might be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the official New Balance sizing chart, which provides specific conversions for UK sizes.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some durability, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain their condition and longevity.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and regular use, the New Balance 996 trainers are built to last. Lifespan can vary based on frequency of wear and the type of activities they are used for, but generally, they are a durable option.

Is this model available in other colors besides White/Black?

The New Balance 996 series is available in various colorways. While this specific listing is for White/Black, other colors may be available through different product variations.

Troubleshooting

Sizing is incorrect

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate conversions from UK to your local standard. Consider trying them on if possible or consulting customer reviews for fit advice.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted properly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

Material scuffs or stains easily

Use a protective spray suitable for the trainer materials. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.
