FAQs

What is the primary technology in the 993's sole?

The primary cushioning technology is ABZORB, which provides excellent shock absorption and comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The 993 trainers are designed more for everyday wear, walking, and light athletic activities due to their cushioning and support features. For intense running, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart and consider your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up. The width can also be a factor; these trainers are typically available in medium (D) width for men.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole provides some traction, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve the materials.

What is the difference between the 993 and previous models like the 991 or 992?

The 993 combined elements from both the 991 and 992, streamlining the design and fine-tuning the ABZORB midsole cushioning for an enhanced experience.

How should I store my New Balance 993 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?

The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that at least 70% of the manufacturing costs are incurred in the United States, reflecting a commitment to domestic production and quality standards.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try adding a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and width.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar material and length. Avoid overtightening laces, which can stress them.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ABZORB is durable, its cushioning can lessen with extensive use. Consider replacing insoles for a refresh, or evaluate if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is broad, as they are designed for general adult footwear needs. To care for your 993 trainers, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water for the suede and mesh components. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
