New Balance 990v4 Trainers - Green/Beige - UK 8

While the 990 series originated as a running shoe, the 990v4 is now more commonly worn for lifestyle and walking due to its updated design and premium materials. For serious running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, gently working on the stain. Let the shoes air dry completely and brush again.

The 'Made in USA' label indicates that a significant portion of the manufacturing cost is attributed to domestic production, often signifying higher quality materials and craftsmanship.

The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials. Consider using a suede protector spray for mild water resistance.

The ENCAP midsole technology combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim, providing all-day cushioning and support while enhancing durability.

The 990v4 represents a modernization of the silhouette, refining the design from the v3 with updated materials and construction for improved comfort and aesthetics while retaining the core quality.

Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry naturally.

Replace laces with new ones of similar material and length. Many retailers offer replacement laces.

While the ENCAP midsole is durable, significant wear may reduce cushioning. For extensive use, consider replacement within 1-2 years depending on activity level.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is consistently an issue, consider trying a half-size up or down if available, or consult the brand's sizing guide.
