FAQs

Are the New Balance 983 trainers suitable for running?

These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. While they feature archive-inspired performance elements, they are not intended for long-distance running or high-intensity sports.

How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the leather, as this can lead to stiffening or discoloration.

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 983 typically follows standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider trying a half-size up to account for the sculpted silhouette.

Is the material waterproof?

The materials used are not waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality water-repellent spray designed for leather and lifestyle sneakers to protect them from light rain.

What does ABZORB SBS stand for?

ABZORB SBS is a proprietary cushioning technology from New Balance that uses engineered pods to provide superior compression set and shock absorption compared to standard foam.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on the leather upper

Use a specialized leather conditioner or a dedicated sneaker eraser to gently buff out surface marks.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the material retain its original shape and minimize deep creases.

Midsole dirt trapped in the waved lines

Use an old soft toothbrush dipped in a mild soap solution to reach into the crevices of the textured midsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking, modern aesthetic with sculptural details
  • Comfortable cushioning provided by ABZORB SBS technology
  • Versatile unisex design suitable for various casual outfits
  • Build quality reflects New Balance's heritage focus

Cons

  • Material-specific cleaning is required to avoid damage
  • The aggressive, sculptural shape may not suit all foot types
  • Limited availability of specific colorways in certain sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 983 trainers maintain their appearance, proper care is essential. Since these models incorporate leather and other refined materials, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and a damp microfiber cloth to spot-clean the upper panels. For long-term storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. Because this is a unisex model, refer to standard UK sizing charts to ensure the correct fit, as the fit profile may differ slightly from performance-focused New Balance running lines.
