FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 993 offers excellent comfort and support for walking and daily activities, they are designed primarily as lifestyle and retro-inspired trainers. For serious or high-impact running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the purple suede?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used cautiously. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

It signifies that the shoe has been manufactured in the United States, reflecting a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and quality standards.

Do these trainers run true to size?

New Balance trainers generally run true to size for most individuals. However, slight variations can occur. It's recommended to consult size charts and, if possible, try them on before purchasing.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the materials offer some durability, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to protect the suede and prevent color bleeding. Consider weather-resistant sprays if frequent use in varied conditions is expected.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please refer to the specific retailer's warranty policy or contact New Balance customer service for details.

How do I maintain the shoe's shape?

Using shoe trees when the shoes are not in use can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel stiff initially

This is normal for new suede and quality footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will soften with use.

Color transfer from purple suede

Ensure shoes are dry before wearing, especially in damp conditions. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics until the color has stabilized. Consider a suede protector spray.
