Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug initially
The 993 often requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to stretch and conform to your foot.
Dirt buildup on the material
Use a dry, soft brush to remove loose dirt. For persistent marks, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 993 trainers remain in top condition, follow these steps:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the 993 series has a distinct internal volume.
- Break-in: Wear them indoors for a few days to allow the cushioning to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris from the upper. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your trainers naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and materials.
