FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 993 provides excellent comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for walking and daily wear rather than technical running.
How do I clean the suede panels?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid getting the suede wet, as this can cause permanent water spots.
Does the shoe fit true to size?
The New Balance 993 generally fits true to size, but users with wider feet may find the standard width comfortable due to the forgiving nature of the mesh.
Are the reflective elements standard on all models?
Yes, the New Balance 993 series features the reflective logo as part of its signature design.
Can I use these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The suede material can be easily damaged by water and road salt.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Light surface stains on the mesh
Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent, dabbing lightly rather than rubbing.
Shoe feels too tight
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to allow for more volume in the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature delicate suede, proper care is essential. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can cause the suede to bleed or stiffen. To keep them looking fresh, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a mild suede cleaner applied sparingly. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Ensure they are fully laced to maintain the structural integrity of the upper, and consider using cedar shoe trees to help them retain their shape when not in use.
