New Balance 993 Walking Shoes

Description

• Upper: Flexible forefoot mesh and supple suede overlays that accommodate metatarsal sensitivity and bunions, supported by a rigid internal heel counter.

• Midsole Cushioning: Heavy-duty ABZORB midsole paired with ACTEVA support foam engineered to absorb vertical landing forces and reduce shock transmission to knees and lower back joints.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Polyurethane midsole rim and broad midfoot layout support natural arch alignment, limiting excessive inward roll (pronation) and reducing plantar fascia strain.

• Outsole: Full-contact Ndurance rubber sole mapped to eliminate localized pressure spots and evenly distribute body weight across the entire footprint.

  Key  Features & Benefits

• Plantar Strain Relief: Supportive polyurethane rim holds the foot stable, significantly lowering tension across the plantar fascia band.

• Joint Shock Mitigation: ABZORB DTS heel pods buffer heavy landing strikes, drastically lowering force loads on ankles, knees, and hips.

• Rigid Heel Counter Support: External heel clip cradles the calcaneus bone to maintain proper anatomical gait mechanics.

• Removable Footbed: Factory ortholite sockliner removes easily to fit thick custom medical orthotics or arch supports.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

   Fits True to Size (TTS). The high interior volume easily accommodates custom medical orthotics; order your standard width or select wide options if using thick custom inserts.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).

Recommended Fitting Margin:

• Casual / Everyday Wear: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.

• Performance Running / Walking: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and toe wiggle room.
