FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 996 Made in USA trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good comfort and support for walking, they are not specialized for high-impact running activities.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to consult the official New Balance sizing guide. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided chart. Many retailers also offer specific advice on sizing for this model.

What is the significance of 'Made in USA'?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is of domestic origin, reflecting New Balance's commitment to domestic manufacturing and often associated with higher quality materials and craftsmanship.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. It is best to check the product details at the point of purchase or contact New Balance customer service for the most accurate warranty information.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The New Balance 996 series is available in various colorways. While this specific model focuses on the white and black combination, other variations of the 996 may be offered by New Balance.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and compare with your specific foot measurements. If possible, try them on before purchasing or check the return policy. Consider the width if applicable.

Slight discomfort on first wear

New Balance trainers, especially premium models, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Stains on the white material

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be an option.

Laces wear out

Replacement laces are widely available. Ensure you purchase laces of a similar length and material for the best aesthetic and function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The New Balance 996 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits.

Care:
