FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by archival running silhouettes, the 983 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer rather than for long-distance athletic performance.

Does the fit differ between leather and nylon versions?

Leather models may feel slightly more rigid initially, whereas nylon or polyester versions offer a bit more flexibility and breathability.

Is the 983 a unisex shoe?

Yes, the New Balance 983 is designed as a unisex product with sizing available for all adults.

How should I clean my New Balance 983?

Use a soft brush for dry debris and a mild soap-and-water solution with a soft cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine.

What technology is in the midsole?

The midsole features ABZORB SBS pods, which are engineered to provide maximum impact absorption and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cleaning textured upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dirt from the multilayered crevices before wiping with a damp cloth.

Midsole scuffing

Gently rub the affected area on the sculpted midsole with a soft white eraser or a damp sponge with mild soap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional underfoot comfort from ABZORB SBS technology
  • Striking, modern aesthetic with high-quality texture
  • Versatile unisex sizing and design
  • Stable base with a sculpted midsole for daily wear

Cons

  • Material variety (leather, nylon, polyester) depends on specific colorway
  • Primarily designed for lifestyle rather than intensive athletic training
  • Architectural shape may feel bulkier than minimalist footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 983 trainers maintain their shape and aesthetic, it is essential to consider the material composition, which varies by colorway (e.g., leather, nylon, polyester).

  1. Cleaning: For leather versions, use a soft, dry brush to remove dust and a dedicated leather cleaner. For synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole or damage adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Fit: Ensure you verify your size using the UK adult foot sizing standard, as the structured upper provides a secure fit that may not stretch significantly over time.
