Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers maintain their appearance, regular care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper materials and a damp cloth for cleaning the midsole. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes can degrade the adhesives and material integrity. Compatibility-wise, these shoes fit standard UK sizing; it is recommended to ensure your specific foot size is measured correctly as the 996 generally follows a standard athletic fit.
