FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the 996 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
How should I clean the upper material?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a damp cloth with very mild detergent; avoid soaking the shoes.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions, but we recommend measuring your foot to ensure the UK 6.5 matches your needs.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are these waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof and are intended for casual wear in fair to moderate weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dirt or dust
Use a soft, dry-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris from the upper materials.
Minor scuffs on the midsole
Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap to gently wipe the area until the scuff disappears.
Shoes feel tight after prolonged walking
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened and allow the shoes to rest for 24 hours between heavy wear sessions to allow the internal cushioning to rebound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers maintain their look, keep them clean by gently wiping away surface dirt with a soft brush or cloth. If the materials are exposed to water or mud, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation. Compatibility is straightforward: these trainers fit standard adult sizing (UK 6.5 for this specific model) and are compatible with most standard casual insoles if you prefer to swap them for customized arch support.
