FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 996 Made in USA trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I clean the 'White Black' colorway?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the materials and color integrity.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' indicates that the product meets a domestic content requirement for U.S. manufacturing, often associated with higher quality materials and construction standards by New Balance.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and consider your usual UK shoe size. The provided size is UK 9, and other sizes are available if needed.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and maintain comfort.

What is the warranty period for New Balance trainers?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official New Balance website or your point of purchase for specific warranty terms and duration.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

This is normal for new, high-quality trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Color transfer from socks or to light-colored surfaces

It is recommended to wear dark or color-matched socks with these trainers, especially during the initial wear period, to minimize any potential color transfer. Avoid contact with light-colored upholstery or surfaces until the shoes have been worn a few times.

Laces wear out or break

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material. New Balance often uses durable laces, but replacements are readily available.
