FAQs

Are the New Balance 996 trainers suitable for running?

While the 996 series offers good comfort and support for general wear and light activities, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes. For dedicated running, consider models engineered for that purpose.

How do I clean the white mesh parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush or cloth with a mixture of mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub the mesh areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry.

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

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is manufactured domestically in the United States, reflecting a commitment to quality and heritage manufacturing.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is generally recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can affect the materials and potentially lead to color transfer, especially from the black components.

What is the warranty period for New Balance trainers?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty terms can vary, so it is best to check the official New Balance website or contact customer service for the most current information.

How does the UK 11 sizing compare to US sizing?

A UK 11 typically corresponds to a US 11.5 for men. However, sizing can vary slightly between brands and even models, so referring to a New Balance specific size chart is always recommended.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, compare with another pair of New Balance shoes or consult a sizing chart for accuracy. Note that 'Made in USA' models can have slight variations.

Color transfer from black to white areas

This can occur with new dark-colored footwear. Consider using a protective spray designed for trainers. Limit initial wear in wet conditions until color transfer is no longer an issue.

Reduced cushioning over time

The midsole cushioning will naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear or exploring the use of aftermarket insoles.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 996 trainers:
