FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they utilize running-inspired technology, the 983 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and a slightly damp cloth for stains. Avoid using heavy detergents.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK adult sizing conventions.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.

Does the blue color fade easily?

The high-quality dye is durable, but it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to intense, direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the color.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff during initial wear

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Surface scuffing on the upper

Use a leather-safe conditioner or a mild suede/leather eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelets and use a double knot if necessary for a more secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, fashion-forward sculptural aesthetic
  • Reliable cushioning provided by ABZORB technology
  • Durable leather construction for long-term wear
  • Versatile unisex fit

Cons

  • Leather material may feel stiff upon initial wear
  • Limited to specific colorway and sizing availability
  • Primarily designed for lifestyle rather than high-impact performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are crafted from leather, they perform best when kept dry and clean. To ensure longevity, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the finish of the leather upper. For sizing, the New Balance 983 generally follows standard adult UK sizing; however, since leather does not stretch significantly, it is recommended to ensure your initial fit is comfortable without excessive pressure. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
