FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 996 series is durable and comfortable, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer and not for high-mileage running.
What does Made in USA imply for this product?
It signifies that the footwear was produced in the United States, adhering to higher standards of craftsmanship and manufacturing quality.
Does the size UK 5 correspond to other international sizes?
A UK 5 typically aligns with a US Men's 6 or US Women's 7, but it is recommended to check a standard New Balance conversion chart for exact accuracy.
How do I maintain the Silver accents?
Wipe the silver components with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to prevent buildup; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight initially
New Balance trainers often have a break-in period; wear them for shorter durations indoors before taking them on long walks.
Visible dirt on the Pink Haze upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit or a gentle foam cleaner; test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers stay in peak condition, follow these recommendations:
- Fit Check: Ensure the UK 5 size matches your foot measurements perfectly, as New Balance sizing can vary slightly by series.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains on the upper, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the Pink Haze color to fade over time.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for premium footwear to shield the fabric from accidental spills or debris.
