FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the New Balance 983 follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you typically wear in New Balance footwear.

Can I use these for marathon running?

While inspired by performance archives, the 983 is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual daily use, not professional long-distance running.

How do I clean the ABZORB pods?

Wipe the pods with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the surface finish.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

No, the leather is not waterproof. It is advisable to use a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The 983 features a standard width profile. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the structured leather upper feels snug initially.

Troubleshooting

Leather appearing dry or stiff

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore softness and flexibility.

Visible surface scuffs

Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a mild leather cleaner to buff out minor abrasions.

Odour buildup from daily wear

Remove the insoles to air them out separately and use a deodorizing spray specifically formulated for footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, futuristic aesthetic
  • High-quality leather materials
  • Excellent cushioning from ABZORB SBS technology
  • Versatile design suitable for various casual settings

Cons

  • Leather requires more maintenance than synthetic materials
  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Specific limited colourway availability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature premium leather, avoid wearing them in harsh weather conditions to prevent water staining or material degradation. To ensure longevity, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the leather becomes scuffed, apply a leather-appropriate conditioner to restore moisture and shine. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour vibrancy. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing, as the 983 series follows traditional New Balance sizing protocols.
