FAQs
What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?
The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that at least 70% of the cost of manufacturing is from domestic materials and labor, reflecting a commitment to quality and heritage craftsmanship.
How do the ABZORB and ENCAP technologies differ?
ABZORB technology focuses on superior shock absorption and cushioning. ENCAP technology combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim for added stability and support.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance or just casual wear?
While they offer excellent support and cushioning, the 99X series is primarily designed for everyday casual wear and comfort rather than high-intensity athletic performance.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches that can be matched to the corresponding UK size. It's also helpful to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material is not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions, as it can stain and damage the material. While the rubber sole offers some grip, they are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular wear, the lifespan can vary, but the durable construction and quality materials typically allow for several years of use, especially for casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner or a professional cleaning service.
Sole feels less grippy over time
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the wear pattern indicates significant smoothing, consider replacing the shoes.
