FAQs
Is the 990v6 suitable for running?
While it features performance technology like FuelCell, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe and provides best results for walking and daily activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink, fade, or lose its shape. Always spot clean by hand.
What does 'MiUSA' mean?
It stands for 'Made in USA,' indicating that the shoes are manufactured or assembled in the United States with a focus on premium quality.
Does the suede require special treatment?
Yes, using a suede-safe water repellent spray is recommended to protect the material from water spots and light staining.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a single direction.
Creasing on the upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and reduce the appearance of creases.
Stains on the midsole
Use a clean, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the white midsole; avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 990v6, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct size; the 990 series typically offers a standard width, but the suede upper will stretch slightly with regular wear.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the suede texture and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to add a layer of protection against the elements.
