FAQs
What does 'MiUSA' stand for?
MiUSA stands for 'Made in USA', indicating that this product is manufactured in the United States.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 990v6 offers excellent comfort and support for walking and daily wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than specialized running shoes.
How does the v6 differ from previous 990 models?
The v6 features an updated silhouette, enhanced cushioning technology, and a modernized structure for improved comfort and a contemporary aesthetic compared to earlier versions.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The mesh and suede materials are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for suede and mesh.
What is the primary benefit of the White Sea Salt colorway?
The White Sea Salt colorway offers a clean, minimalist, and versatile aesthetic that easily pairs with various outfits, emphasizing subtle elegance and balance.
How should I care for the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to maintain the texture and remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid water saturation.
Is this trainer suitable for all adult genders?
While this specific listing focuses on men's sizing (UK 14), the 990v6 silhouette is often designed with unisex appeal, and other size/gender variations may be available.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or loose.
Adjust lacing to find a secure but comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles might help.
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dry suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Mesh material shows signs of wear.
Handle with care to avoid snagging. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Discoloration on the white/sea salt upper.
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for white footwear, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
