FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, the 983 series is designed as a lifestyle trainer rather than a professional-grade performance running shoe.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 983 is designed as a unisex silhouette suitable for all adults.

How should I clean the ABZORB SBS pods?

Wipe the pods with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the finish.

Does the padded collar fit true to size?

Yes, the padded collar is designed to offer a secure, standard fit consistent with other New Balance models.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the structural integrity and materials of the sneaker.

Are these shoes breathable for hot weather?

Yes, the upper is constructed from breathable materials designed to facilitate airflow and keep feet comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or debris on the mesh upper

Gently brush the area with a dry, soft brush to dislodge particles before wiping with a slightly damp cloth.

Creasing at the forefoot

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and futuristic aesthetic suitable for casual outfits
  • Padded collar ensures all-day comfort for walking
  • Advanced ABZORB SBS technology provides excellent shock absorption
  • Breathable materials prevent overheating during daily activity

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance athletic training

  • Limited to lifestyle performance rather than specialized sport utility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 983 trainers maintain their shape and function, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you select your standard adult size; the padded collar provides a secure fit, so it is recommended to wear them with medium-thickness socks.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the breathable upper. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
  4. Maintenance: Allow the shoes to air out after heavy use to keep the interior fresh.
