## Questions & Answers

**Q: I was told to go down half a size on the 997s. Should I?**
A: Not sure about you but I typically wear 101/2 dress shoe and I had to go to size 11 for these to fit. Probably a personal thing.

**Q: 997H v1 i dont see this kind of version on official NB website ...why ?**
A: The reason you don't see this classic shoe on the official NB website is because they will only show it if there is enough buzz from customers about this shoe.  Promoting this classic shoe must begin with you wearing the shoes and putting hundreds of photos on social media of your styling them fashionably with photo shoots.

**Q: Are the insoles removable**
A: Yes you can remove them

**Q: What is the return policy?**
A: Just look at their website and Return policy is very clear
