New Balance 990v4 Made in USA Trainers - Blue - UK 10.5

The 'Made in USA' designation signifies New Balance's commitment to using domestic manufacturing and materials, representing a premium line that values craftsmanship and meticulous execution.

The 990v4 is designed as a lifestyle trainer, offering excellent support and comfort for daily wear. While they can handle light athletic activities, they are not specialized running shoes like New Balance's dedicated running models.

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or consult the sizing guide on the product page. You can measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing indicated.

While the trainers are made with quality materials, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their materials and construction. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

The 990v4 refines and modernizes the design of the previous v3 model, often featuring updated materials, colorways, and subtle design tweaks while retaining the core comfort and support elements.

Gently wipe the translucent areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which could cause scuffing or damage the translucent effect.

Ensure you are using the correct shoe for the activity. For daily wear, the 990v4 is designed for durability. Rotate shoes if you wear them daily to allow them to recover. Check for any debris lodged in the outsole tread.

Use a suede eraser to gently lift stains and marks. For more ingrained dirt, use a suede brush in short, upward strokes. Protect suede with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for footwear.

Replace laces with new ones. Consider using a more durable lace material if fraying is a recurring issue.

The ABZORB midsole is designed for long-lasting comfort, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear or replacing the shoes if comfort is significantly diminished.
