FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, offering superior comfort and support during prolonged wear.

How do I clean the 'Moonbeam' suede and mesh parts?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap solution on mesh, and air dry away from heat. Specialized suede cleaners can be used cautiously.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While offering excellent comfort and support, the 990v4 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday trainer. For high-impact athletic activities, specialized performance footwear is recommended.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is American-made, reflecting New Balance's commitment to domestic manufacturing and quality.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While the materials offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Allow them to air dry completely if they get wet.

What is the fit like for the 990v4?

The 990v4 is known for its comfortable and accommodating fit. It's advisable to consult New Balance's sizing guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Does the reflective 'N' branding provide significant visibility?

The reflective 'N' branding enhances visibility in low-light conditions by reflecting light sources, making them safer for evening wear or early morning use.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or dirty

Use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, consider a professional cleaning service specializing in footwear.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace laces with a new pair. New Balance offers replacement laces, or standard trainer laces of a similar length and color can be used.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the ABZORB midsole is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive stress on the shoes can help prolong their performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The versatile design pairs well with a range of casual and smart-casual attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For the suede and leather overlays, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid soaking the shoe.
  2. Mesh Areas: Gently clean mesh sections with a soft brush and a mild soap solution if necessary. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the ENCAP midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and sunlight.
