New Balance 997R - Grey - Size 4

The New Balance 997R are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for comfort and style. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activity, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the specialized support required for serious training.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For more persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid using water on suede as it can cause staining.

The midsole is made of soft foam, designed to provide cushioning and comfort for everyday wear.

While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and suede materials.

The trainers feature a traditional 6-hole lacing system, allowing for adjustable fit and secure fastening.

This guide specifically covers the grey variant. Please check the product catalog for availability of other colors or models.

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather and suede can stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness may indicate an incorrect fit. Try wearing thinner socks or consider alternative lacing methods.

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Treat stains as soon as possible.

Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive folding. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
