FAQs
Is the New Balance 997H a running shoe?
No, the 997H is classified as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker designed for casual, everyday wear rather than performance running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Let them air dry away from direct sunlight.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 997H generally fits true to size for standard foot widths.
What is the primary material of the midsole?
The midsole is made from EVA foam, which provides lightweight, soft cushioning for impact absorption.
Can I replace the insoles?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No break-in period is typically required, but we recommend wearing them with comfortable socks to ensure the best fit out of the box. Ensure the lace-up closure is adjusted to your preferred tension.
Compatibility: The 997H is a standard-width lifestyle sneaker that fits true to size for most adults. It works best with casual wear, including jeans, chinos, or athletic joggers.
Care: To maintain the appearance of the white and pink color scheme, wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for the mesh sections to avoid water saturation. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents, as these can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the foam midsole.
