FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 993 provides excellent support and cushioning, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer designed for everyday wear and walking.
Are New Balance 993s true to size?
Generally, yes, but because of the supportive foam and padding, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room in the toe box.
How do I clean the black suede or fabric parts?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit or a soft damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the standard insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 993 series is designed to accommodate various foot shapes across genders.
How long should a pair of 993s last?
With standard everyday wear, the structural support and cushioning typically last for several hundred miles of walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The 993 series features a substantial foam structure; wear them for short durations indoors for a few days to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Surface marks on the black fabric
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently lift dust or dirt from the fabric weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 993 trainers last, proper care is essential. When you first receive your pair, ensure the fit is snug but not restrictive around the midfoot. For ongoing maintenance, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the upper with a soft brush and mild detergent. Remove surface dirt regularly to keep the material from degrading. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
