FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The 996 series generally offers a standard fit. Specific width options may vary by release, so checking the product details or trying them on is recommended if you have wider feet.

How do I clean the suede/leather parts?

For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. For leather, a damp cloth with mild soap is suitable. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the main difference between 'Made in USA' and other New Balance lines?

'Made in USA' signifies premium construction and materials, often associated with higher quality and durability compared to standard lines.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to preserve their condition and materials.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and regular use, the New Balance 996 Made in USA trainers are built for longevity, often lasting several years due to their quality construction.

Does the 'White Black' colorway bleed?

High-quality dyes are used, but as with any colored footwear, there's a minimal risk of color transfer, especially when new or exposed to excessive moisture. Avoid wearing with very light-colored socks initially.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for precise measurements. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or ensure you have checked reviews for fit accuracy.

Stains on the white material

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner may be used cautiously.

Reduced cushioning over time

While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles for an enhanced feel.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a standard pair of athletic shoelaces. Ensure they are the appropriate length for the shoe's eyelets.
