FAQs

What makes the New Balance 990v6 so comfortable?

The 990v6 features FuelCell cushioning for a propulsive feel and an ENCAP midsole which combines soft foam with a durable polyurethane rim, providing an optimal balance of comfort, support, and stability for all-day wear.

Are these sneakers true to size?

New Balance 990 series generally runs true to size. However, foot shape varies, so we recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a New Balance size chart for precise measurements. Many find them to offer a comfortable, accommodating fit.

How should I clean the mesh and leather on my 990v6?

For mesh and leather, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher stains, a specialized sneaker cleaning product is recommended. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Can I use the 990v6 for running or sports?

The New Balance 990v6 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker, offering superior comfort and style for everyday casual wear. While it incorporates athletic technology, it is not optimized for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

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

The 'Made in USA' label represents New Balance's commitment to quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and domestic manufacturing. It often signifies a higher standard of production and attention to detail.

Is the 'White Sea Salt' colorway difficult to maintain?

Like any light-colored footwear, the 'White Sea Salt' colorway can show dirt and scuffs more readily than darker shades. Regular cleaning and mindful wear, especially in less pristine environments, will help maintain its fresh appearance.

Troubleshooting

My sneakers look dirty quickly.

The light colorway can show dirt easily. Implement a regular cleaning routine using a soft cloth with mild soap and water for the mesh and leather, or a specialized sneaker cleaner for stubborn marks.

My feet feel uncomfortable after long periods of wear.

While designed for comfort, ensure you have the correct size and allow for a brief break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider checking your lacing technique or consulting with a specialist for personalized insole recommendations.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying your laces securely. Try using a double knot for increased security, or experiment with different lacing patterns that provide a tighter hold.

Their versatile white and cream color palette makes them compatible with diverse wardrobes, from casual denim and shorts to more refined smart-casual ensembles. ### Care To maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your 990v6 sneakers: 1. Spot Clean: For minor dirt, gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. 2. Deep Clean: For more stubborn stains, use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. 3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape. 5. Laces: Remove and hand wash laces separately if they become soiled.
