FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 996 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not for high-intensity running or athletic performance.
How should I clean the white leather/material?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris, then use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap.
What does the 996 series represent?
The 996 series is an iconic silhouette within the New Balance heritage collection, known for its specific paneling and classic runner-inspired look.
Are these true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 996 generally fits true to the standard UK size guide provided.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require specific arch support, the factory insoles can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics.
Is the material waterproof?
The 996 is not classified as waterproof. We recommend applying a protective water-repellent spray if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuff marks on the exterior
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the affected area, then air dry away from heat sources.
General discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow for natural foot swelling and ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for casual trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 996 trainers stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Given the white colorway, spot cleaning with a soft brush and mild detergent is recommended immediately after finding dirt or scuffs. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity and materials of the shoe. Ensure you verify your size—specifically the 11.5 UK requirement—before extended walking to prevent discomfort.
