FAQs
Are the New Balance 983s suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s performance running heritage, the 983 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intensive athletic training.
How do I clean the ABZORB SBS pods?
Wipe the pods gently with a cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 983 follows standard adult sizing. If you have wide feet, consider testing the fit with your preferred thickness of socks.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the internal liners can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
What should I do if the mesh gets wet?
Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Are the materials sustainable?
The 983 series utilizes a mix of synthetic, mesh, and specialized materials designed for longevity and performance.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation in mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dry debris from the mesh pores before wiping with a damp cloth.
Creasing on synthetic overlays
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the materials maintain their original form and reduce creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 983 trainers maintain their shape and function, follow these guidelines. For sizing, these shoes are standard adult UK sizes; it is recommended to ensure your foot is measured accurately as synthetic overlays offer less 'give' than full-knit alternatives. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains on the mesh or synthetic panels; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the ABZORB pods and adhesives. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading over time.
