FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on performance 990 technology, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They provide great support for walking but are not optimized for long-distance running.

How do I determine the right size?

These shoes follow standard UK sizing conventions for the New Balance 990 series. We recommend purchasing your usual size for the best fit.

Can these be washed in a washing machine?

No. Machine washing can compromise the leather and the adhesives used in the construction of the shoe.

What is special about the 'Made in USA' collection?

The 'Made in USA' line features premium materials and is assembled in American factories, ensuring higher standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Do the leather materials need conditioning?

Periodically applying a high-quality leather conditioner will help keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers to help the material retain its shape and smooth out minor creases.

Difficulty cleaning vibrant color panels

Spot clean only with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or laundry machines, which can damage the leather finish.

Pros and Cons

  • Classic 990 series support makes them suitable for all-day wear

  • Bold color designs might not suit those seeking minimalist styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your 990 'Baklava' sneakers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains on the leather, use a professional-grade leather cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth, rather than soaking the shoe.
  2. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading over time. Use shoe trees to maintain the shape.
  3. Compatibility: These sneakers are true-to-size for most wearers. If you plan on wearing thicker performance socks, consider the standard fit; for a tighter, more locked-in feel, ensure you check your specific UK size measurements provided in the variant selection.
  4. Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier against the elements.
