FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 990 series generally fits true to size for most adults, though personal preference for toe room may vary.

Can I wash my New Balance 990v4 trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Always hand-clean using approved products.

Are these suitable for long-distance running?

While the 990v4 was originally designed for running, it is now primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer, though it remains capable of light athletic use.

What is the ENCAP midsole?

ENCAP is a core of soft EVA cushioning in the heel with a polyurethane rim for added support and durability.

How do I best protect the orange suede?

Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede can provide an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede upper

Use a specialized dry suede brush to gently lift dirt away from the fibers.

Midsole cushioning feels less responsive

Ensure the shoe is fully dry and check for debris in the outsole grooves that might affect the shoe's flex.

Water spots on suede

Let the shoes air dry completely away from direct heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 990v4 trainers remain in top condition:

  1. Suede Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each wear. Avoid excessive water contact as it can damage the suede texture.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant orange color from fading.
  3. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede cleaner if necessary; test on a small, hidden area first.
  4. Fit: These trainers are sized for adults; ensure you select your correct UK sizing for optimal support.
