FAQs
Are the New Balance 993 suitable for running or intense athletic activities?
While the New Balance 993 offers excellent cushioning and comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for daily wear and casual activities. For high-performance running or intense sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size for the New Balance 993?
The New Balance 993 typically runs true to size. It's recommended to consult the official New Balance sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you have specific foot width requirements.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
The premium suede upper is not inherently waterproof. To protect the material and extend the life of your shoes, it is advisable to avoid heavy rain and puddles. Applying a water-resistant spray designed for suede can provide some protection against light moisture.
What does 'ABZORB® Midsole' mean for comfort?
ABZORB® is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption. It works by dispersing impact forces away from the foot and body, delivering a highly comfortable and responsive feel underfoot, ideal for all-day wear.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole of the New Balance 993 is designed for durability and reliable traction. It provides good grip on various urban surfaces, ensuring stability and confidence during everyday use.
What is the significance of 'Made in USA' for these sneakers?
The 'Made in USA' designation for New Balance footwear signifies a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and domestic manufacturing. It often indicates a product made with exceptional attention to detail and construction standards.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty, matted, or discolored.
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid excessive moisture.
Shoes feel less supportive or comfortable over time.
The insoles might be worn out. Consider replacing them with new, supportive insoles. Also, ensure you are wearing socks appropriate for the shoe and activity.
Squeaking sound from the shoes while walking.
This is often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area underneath, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe before reinserting the insole.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the premium materials of your New Balance 993s will ensure their longevity and appearance:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For more stubborn stains, apply a small amount of a reputable suede cleaner following its specific instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking suede.
- Cleaning Mesh: For the breathable mesh sections, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water. Gently wipe the affected areas and then blot dry.
- Outsole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials, especially the suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and fabric to help repel water and stains. This is particularly beneficial for preserving the suede's quality.
- Storage: Store your New Balance 993s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
