FAQs
Are the New Balance 993 trainers good for running?
They feature performance-oriented cushioning technology like ABZORB, but they are primarily marketed today as a premium lifestyle and everyday walking shoe.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry, soft brush to remove dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser, and avoid using soap and water which can damage the texture.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to size. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard width comfortable, but consider your usual size preference.
What does 'Made in USA' mean for this model?
It signifies that the shoes are manufactured in the United States with a domestic value of 70% or more, reflecting a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required for additional support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or debris on the suede
Use a soft-bristle brush designed for suede to gently buff the surface in one direction.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for suede footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shoe's shape.
Shoes feel slightly tight initially
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks and allow the suede to naturally stretch and mold to your foot over the first few wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 993 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, the suede may soften and conform further to your foot shape after a few wears.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt after use. Avoid water saturation; if they get wet, stuff them with paper to maintain shape and air-dry away from direct heat sources.
- Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading over time.
