FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While durable and supportive, the 993 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear and walking rather than high-performance technical running.
How do I find my size?
The New Balance 993 follows standard sizing; however, it is recommended to check your measurement against the UK adult size guide to ensure an accurate fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the 993 is not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the materials.
How often should I replace them?
This depends on frequency of use, but generally, the cushioning may begin to compress after extensive, long-term daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff during first wear
The 993 often requires a short break-in period; wear them for shorter intervals to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Accumulated dirt in mesh panels
Use a soft brush to gently agitate the dirt from the mesh, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.
Laces becoming loose during the day
Ensure they are double-knotted or adjusted for a secure, comfortable tension across the instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 993 trainers maintain their condition, it is recommended to keep them clean and dry. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the materials. For minor surface dirt, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Ensure they are allowed to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To maintain the best fit, store the shoes in a cool, dry place and ensure laces are loosened before taking the shoes on or off to preserve the heel collar shape.
