FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the padded collar provides a snug, secure fit.

Can I use these for running?

While inspired by archival running shoes, they are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers for walking and casual daily use.

How do I clean the white sections of the midsole?

Use a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent to gently scrub, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the internal insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.

What gender are these shoes for?

The New Balance 983 is a unisex model designed to fit adult foot shapes comfortably.

Troubleshooting

Feeling too tight around the ankle.

Loosen the top two rows of laces to allow the padded collar to expand to your foot shape.

Midsole feels stiff.

The dual-density foam often requires 3-5 days of consistent wear to fully adapt to your gait.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, modern design that pairs well with various styles
  • Enhanced impact protection via ABZORB technology
  • Supportive fit thanks to the padded collar construction
  • Reliable traction for daily city walking

Cons

  • Sculptural design might feel stiffer than traditional minimalist sneakers
  • Limited to specific colorway aesthetic options
  • May require a short break-in period for the dual-density foam

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 983 trainers maintain their aesthetic and performance, proper care is essential.

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure you wear the socks you intend to use daily when first trying on the shoes to account for the padded collar's thickness.
  2. Cleaning: Spot clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the trainers in water, as this can degrade the foam components.
  3. Drying: Air dry only. Do not place them near heaters or in direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to protect the structural integrity of the midsole materials.
