FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v6 suitable for running?
While the New Balance 990 series originated as a running shoe, the 990v6 is primarily designed for exceptional everyday comfort and casual wear. For dedicated high-performance running, we recommend exploring New Balance's specialized running shoe lines.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
The New Balance 990v6 generally fits true to size. If you are typically between sizes or prefer a specific fit, we recommend trying them on or consulting a New Balance size chart for precise measurements. The UK 10 size refers to the standard UK shoe sizing.
Can I machine wash my 990v6 sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the detailed spot cleaning and care instructions provided in this guide to maintain your sneakers.
What does 'Made in USA' signify for these shoes?
'Made in USA' indicates that these New Balance sneakers are manufactured in one of the brand's factories in the United States. This commitment ensures a high standard of craftsmanship and quality, with a significant portion of the value sourced domestically.
Is the 'N' logo reflective?
The metallic silver 'N' logo on the 990v6 is designed to provide a sleek, premium aesthetic. While it has a sheen, its primary function is not for reflectivity in low-light conditions for safety.
How often should I clean my 990v6s to maintain their appearance?
For optimal appearance, we recommend light cleaning, especially on the white and cream mesh/suede areas, after every few wears or as needed. Deep cleaning should be performed when visible dirt or stains accumulate, following the care guidelines to prevent material damage.
Troubleshooting
Suede or mesh appears dirty or stained.
For light dirt on mesh, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and a suede eraser for tougher spots. Always test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel less supportive over time.
Ensure your laces are tied securely to provide optimal foot lockdown. If the original insoles are removable, consider replacing them with new insoles designed for cushioning and support to refresh the feel.
Shoes make a squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.
White areas are yellowing or discolored.
Gentle cleaning with a mixture of mild detergent and water, applied with a soft brush, can help. For stubborn yellowing, specialized sneaker whitening products may be used, following the product's instructions carefully and testing on a small area first.

Care Instructions
Proper care will preserve the aesthetic and longevity of your 990v6 sneakers.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt on mesh and leather sections, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe or brush the affected areas. Avoid saturating the shoe with water.
- Suede Protection: Before the first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. For cleaning suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs or minor stains. Always brush in one direction.
- Spot Cleaning: Address spills or stains immediately. For liquid spills, blot with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, air dry them at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink, crack, or discolor.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
