FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 993 has a retro running shoe silhouette and incorporates cushioning technologies, making them comfortable for walking and everyday wear. However, they are generally considered lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes for intense athletic training.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt on the suede. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth works. Clean mesh with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Do these shoes come in different widths?

Yes, the New Balance 993 is available in multiple widths, including standard (D) width, to accommodate different foot shapes.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is produced in the United States, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and domestic manufacturing.

How does the Taro color look in person?

The 'Taro' color refers to a distinctive purple hue, often combined with Fairweather Blue and Sea Salt accents. It offers a unique visual appeal while maintaining the classic 993 aesthetic.

What is the primary benefit of Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb cushioning provides excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce impact forces on your feet and joints during walking and standing, thus enhancing overall comfort.

Can I wear these trainers with shorts or dressier outfits?

The classic retro design of the 993 makes them highly versatile. They pair well with casual outfits like jeans and shorts, and can also add a stylish, relaxed element to slightly dressier, contemporary looks.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect.

Double-check the New Balance size chart for accurate UK to your local sizing conversion. Consider trying different widths if available.

Suede material looks dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, carefully use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning or support over time.

While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally degrade with extensive use. Consider cleaning the shoes to ensure debris isn't affecting performance and consult the product warranty if within the period.

Outsole seems slippery.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can affect traction. The Ndurance rubber is designed for durability, but prolonged wear on very smooth surfaces can reduce grip over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. Ensure you consult the New Balance size chart for the correct conversion if you are not familiar with UK sizing, as they are available in unisex sizing.

Compatibility: The New Balance 993 is designed for adult use and is compatible with standard sock wear. Its versatile design makes it suitable for pairing with a wide range of casual attire.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your suede and mesh trainers:

  • Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Avoid soaking the suede.
  • Mesh: Clean mesh areas with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Rinse gently and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
  • Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
  • General: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow shoes to air dry naturally.
