FAQs
Are these authentic New Balance shoes?
Yes, these are original New Balance 996 MiUSA trainers provided in their official packaging.
What does Made in USA imply for quality?
The Made in USA label indicates that the shoe was produced with superior craftsmanship and strict quality control standards at domestic manufacturing facilities.
Does the pink color fade easily?
Like any pigmented fabric, the Pink Haze color will last longest if kept out of direct, intense sunlight for extended periods when not being worn.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While the 996 series is very comfortable, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer rather than a performance-grade running shoe.
What is the best way to store these long-term?
Store them in a cool, dry place inside the original box, preferably with the provided stuffing to maintain the shoe's shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface scuffs
Use a specialized rubber eraser block for suede or a soft cloth with gentle soap for other materials.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its natural shape.
Dirt buildup on silver accents
Gently wipe with a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers maintain their look, consider the following:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for adults; ensure your UK size corresponds to the 10.5 measurement provided for this model.
- Surface Protection: Apply a water-and-stain repellent spray designed for high-quality trainers before the first wear to protect the 'Pink Haze' fabric.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, avoiding harsh chemicals that may discolor the pink panels.
- Storage: Keep in the original box when not in use to avoid light exposure or dust accumulation, which can dull the silver accents.
