FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 993 has a retro running silhouette and offers good cushioning, but they are primarily designed for everyday wear, long walks, and lifestyle use rather than high-performance or competitive running.

How do I know if I have the right size and width?

These trainers come in unisex sizing. It is recommended to consult the New Balance size chart for accurate conversions and to check the available width options (e.g., standard D width) to ensure a proper fit.

What is the best way to clean the suede material?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a lightly dampened cloth, and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat.

Are there different color options available?

Yes, the New Balance 993 series is available in various colorways. This specific guide focuses on the 'Purple' variant, but other colors like 'Beige' and 'Sea Salt' may also be offered.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that these trainers meet a higher standard of craftsmanship and are produced domestically, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality manufacturing.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat the suede with a protective spray for better water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems off

Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate UK to US conversion and check available width options (e.g., standard width D). If possible, try them on in person or ensure a clear return policy.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward. Allow to dry naturally.

Reduced cushioning over time

While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for longer lifespan or exploring New Balance insoles if additional support is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort for daily wear and walking.
  • Durable construction with high-quality materials.
  • Classic, versatile retro design.
  • Made in the USA quality assurance.
  • Good breathability due to mesh upper.

Cons

  • Unisex sizing may require extra attention for fit.
  • Specific colorways might be limited.
  • Suede material requires careful maintenance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width for optimal comfort. The traditional lace-up closure allows for a customizable fit.

Compatibility: The New Balance 993 is designed for general adult use, suitable for walking and casual wear. It is compatible with standard sock types. While it features a retro running silhouette, it is best suited for lifestyle and light athletic activities rather than high-performance running.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For suede and mesh, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
