Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 997 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Always ensure you are selecting the correct UK size for your specific foot shape. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For spot cleaning, apply a mild detergent diluted in water with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that may degrade the materials. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the structural integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
