FAQs

What does 'MiUSA' stand for?

'MiUSA' signifies that the product is 'Made in the USA', indicating its country of origin and manufacturing.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart on their official website or consult the specific sizing guide provided by the retailer. Generally, UK sizes are listed separately from US or EU sizes.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While the 990v3 offers excellent cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle or 'dad shoe' trainer, not a high-performance running shoe. It is comfortable for walking and everyday activities.

How should I store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. It's advisable to store them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.

What is the inspiration behind the 'Raw Amethyst' colorway?

The colorway is inspired by the amethyst crystal, featuring a predominantly purple suede upper that gives the shoe a distinct and luxurious appearance.

Can the suede overlays be waterproofed?

Yes, you can use a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't alter the color or texture.

What is the difference between the 990v3 and other 990 versions?

Each version of the 990 line (v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6) introduces subtle updates in design, materials, and cushioning technology, while maintaining the core New Balance commitment to quality and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, test in an inconspicuous area first, and allow to air dry.

Mesh material is discolored.

Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with a new pair. You can hand wash existing laces with mild detergent and air dry.

Unusual squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to new materials settling or moisture. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, consult a footwear professional.
