New Balance 990v4 Trainers - Green - Size 8.5

While the 990 series originated from running shoe design, the v4 is primarily considered a lifestyle trainer. It offers excellent comfort and support for walking and everyday activities, but may not provide the specialized features required for intense or competitive running.

Refer to the New Balance official sizing chart available on their website. It provides measurements to help you find the best fit for your foot length and width.

While the materials offer some protection, it is not recommended to wear suede and mesh trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can damage the materials and affect their appearance. Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for suede.

Each version of the 990 has design and technology updates. The v4, introduced in 2016, refined the v3's modernization, offering a specific aesthetic and material application that has become a modern classic within the series.

Clean your trainers as needed, based on wear and visible dirt. Regular spot cleaning and occasional deep cleaning (using appropriate methods for suede and mesh) will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is of U.S. origin, reflecting New Balance's commitment to domestic manufacturing and quality craftsmanship.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its texture. If stiffness persists, a specialized suede conditioner can be applied sparingly.

Use a soft brush and a mild detergent solution to clean the mesh area. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Replace frayed laces with a new pair of New Balance laces or similar quality laces to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Suede and mesh materials will adapt to the foot's shape.
