FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 990v6 offers excellent support and cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and for general wear rather than high-performance running.

How do I determine the correct size?

The product information specifies a UK size 14. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with New Balance's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit.

What is the difference between the 990v5 and 990v6?

The v6 features a more modern, sleeker silhouette compared to the v5, alongside updated cushioning technology and design elements while retaining the core comfort and support associated with the 990 line.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, especially due to the suede materials. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and away from direct heat.

What does 'MiUSA' stand for?

MiUSA stands for 'Made in USA,' indicating that a significant portion of the shoe's value is derived from its domestic manufacturing in the United States, reflecting high standards of craftsmanship.

How durable are the 990v6 trainers?

The 990v6 are known for their durability, owing to their high-quality materials and Made in USA construction, designed for long-lasting wear when properly cared for.

Troubleshooting

Laces loosening frequently

Try a different lacing technique, such as a surgeon's knot, or ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Check laces for wear and tear; replace if necessary.

Slight stiffness on first wear

This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure correct sizing for optimal comfort.

Discoloration on suede

Suede can be sensitive to moisture and oils. Use a suede eraser for minor marks and a suede brush for general upkeep. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or a specialized suede cleaning kit.
