FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede and mesh materials are not naturally water-resistant. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to help repel light moisture.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles with these shoes?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these suitable for heavy gym training?
While they provide great support, the 990v4 is designed as a lifestyle and walking shoe. For heavy weightlifting or high-impact gym sessions, a sport-specific training shoe is recommended.
How do I maintain the shape of the shoe?
Using a shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use helps maintain the silhouette and reduces creasing in the upper.
Is this model unisex?
The specific variant listed here is designed for women, but the 990v4 series generally offers versions for all genders. Always verify the size conversion between male and female models.
Troubleshooting
Outer material getting stained
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt before applying any suede-specific cleaning product.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if you find the factory-provided laces frequently loosen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 990v4 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit standard adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are slightly more swollen to ensure the most accurate fit.
- Lacing: Use the additional eyelets near the collar if you require a more secure 'heel lock' to prevent slippage.
- Cleaning: Since the shoe features suede, do not put them in a washing machine. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser or cleaner for spot treatments.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant orange and beige pigments from fading over time.
