New Balance 990v6 MiUSA - Grey - UK 9.5

While the 990 series originated as a running shoe, the v6 has evolved into a premium lifestyle sneaker. It offers excellent comfort and support for daily wear and walking, but it's not specifically engineered for high-performance or competitive running activities.

For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush it off. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always let them air dry.

New Balance MADE footwear, including the 990v6, contains a domestic value of 70% or more. This signifies a commitment to quality craftsmanship and domestic manufacturing processes.

The suede and mesh upper materials are not fully waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent damage to the materials and maintain their appearance.

New Balance shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on or consulting a sizing guide if you are unsure.

Regular light cleaning, especially brushing the suede, after a few wears can help maintain their appearance. A deeper clean may be needed every few weeks or months depending on usage and exposure to dirt.

Ensure the laces are not too tight. Allow for a short break-in period; the FuelCell midsole and upper materials will soften and adapt to your foot over a few wears.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean dirt and scuffs. For more persistent marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Check that the insole is properly seated. If the squeak persists, try dusting a small amount of talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Ensure the reflective areas are clean. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust that might be obscuring their reflective properties.

While the mesh provides breathability, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage foot temperature and comfort. Ensure shoes are properly aired out between wears.
