FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 603 features a heritage runner design and flexible sole, it is categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is best suited for walking and everyday casual use.
How should I clean the mesh portion of the shoe?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the shoe air dries completely.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The stacked foam midsole is designed to provide structural support and cushioning that is generally sufficient for most casual, everyday activities.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if you require a specific type of arch or heel support.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?
The 603 fits standard for adult sizing; however, since it is a structured, layered trainer, some users prefer a half-size up if they intend to wear thicker socks.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 603 is designed as a unisex model, making it suitable for a wide range of foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during movement
Ensure the laces are threaded through all available metal eyelets and fabric loops for a more distributed tension across the foot.
Midsole foam showing light dirt or scuffs
Use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution to gently wipe the foam surface; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could tear the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 603 trainers last, start by adjusting the lace tension through the mix of fabric loops and metal eyelets until you achieve a firm but comfortable hold. Because of the multi-material construction—specifically the mesh and metallic overlays—it is recommended to spot clean them using a soft brush and a mild detergent solution to avoid damaging the synthetic finishes. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes can compromise the integrity of the foam midsole and the adhesive bonds between the overlays. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic silver components from fading or cracking over time.
