FAQs
How should I choose my size?
Measure your foot from the heel to the tip of the longest toe. If you fall between sizes, select the larger size.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 997 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer for daily wear, not as a technical performance running shoe.
How do I clean my grey suede 997s?
Use a specialized suede cleaning brush to gently lift dirt. Avoid getting the suede overly wet, as this can damage the texture.
Are these shoes unisex?
Many models within the 997 series are categorized as unisex, allowing for a wide range of size options for both men and women.
What is the primary material used?
The 997 series utilizes premium materials including high-grade suede and leather, depending on the specific model variant.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels slightly too tight
If the shoe is new, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks; if the length is still restrictive, verify if you should have sized up according to the foot measurement guide.
Suede material showing signs of water staining
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, then use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the fabric.

- Leather models: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
