Are the New Balance 998 true to size?
Generally, the 998 fits true to size, but it's always best to consult the size chart, especially if you have wide feet.
How should I store my 998s?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
What is ABZORB cushioning?

Many New Balance 998 models are made in the USA.
Can I wear the 998 for running?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider trying a half-size up if you prefer a looser fit. Check lacing to make sure they are not tied too tightly.
Discoloration or stains.
Use a specialized suede or leather cleaner appropriate for the materials. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Cushioning feels less effective.
Allow the shoes to rest and alternate them with other pairs to allow the cushioning to recover. Consider replacing the insoles if the cushioning is still compromised.
