FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed with a gender attribute, the 996 design is often considered versatile; please check the size guide carefully to ensure the fit matches your needs.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, the New Balance 996 is a heritage lifestyle trainer and is not designed for the rigors of long-distance running.
How do I maintain the Pink and Silver colours?
Keep the shoes clean and store them out of direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the vibrant pigments.
Is this a Made in USA model?
The 996 series has historic ties to Made in USA production, but please check the specific tag on your pair for the exact manufacturing origin.
How often should I clean my trainers?
It is recommended to spot clean as needed to prevent dirt buildup that can become difficult to remove over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Ensure you are using thin performance socks to allow for material adjustment during the break-in period.
Visible surface stains on fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush, testing a small hidden area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers maintain their look and feel, consider the following care tips:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents that may damage the colour finish.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the pink fabric.
- Moisture: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Fit Check: Ensure the UK 4.5 size is appropriate for your foot shape, as proper sizing is essential to maintain the structural integrity of the heel and sole.
