FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running silhouettes, the 983 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-intensity athletic performance.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The New Balance 983 generally fits true to size for standard foot widths.

What materials are used for the upper?

The construction varies by model but features high-quality materials including leather and technical textiles.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.

How do I best clean the midsole?

A damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient to wipe away scuffs and dirt from the sculpted rubber midsole.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt trapped in the layered upper cutouts

Use a can of compressed air to blow out debris from the cutouts before wiping with a damp cloth.

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, fashion-forward aesthetic
  • Excellent underfoot comfort from ABZORB pods
  • Versatile unisex design
  • Sturdy construction for everyday durability

Cons

  • Intricate upper design can be harder to clean
  • Sculpted midsole may not suit all foot arches
  • Limited to lifestyle performance rather than heavy athletics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 983 trainers last, consider the following care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the textured upper. For leather components, apply a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly using a microfiber cloth.
  2. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
  3. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit and are suitable for most foot types; however, ensure you select your correct UK size for optimal placement of the ABZORB pods.
  4. Maintenance: Avoid submerging the shoes in water; spot cleaning is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the multilayered materials.
