FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v4 trainers suitable for running?
While the 990v4 offers excellent cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday trainer rather than a specialized running shoe. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's dedicated running shoe lines.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart available on their official website. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. It's also helpful to try on shoes if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers, especially due to the suede components. Spot cleaning and hand washing with appropriate materials are the best methods for care.
What is the significance of 'MiUSA'?
'MiUSA' stands for 'Made in the USA,' indicating that a domestic value of at least 70% is present in the shoe. This designation is often associated with higher quality materials and craftsmanship.
How durable are the New Balance 990v4 trainers?
These trainers are known for their durability, owing to the premium materials and robust construction. With proper care, they are designed to last for a significant period of regular use.
What type of outsole do these trainers have?

Troubleshooting
Suede appearing dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Discomfort after wearing
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose.
Shoe losing shape
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and heat. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain their structure. Ensure proper drying after cleaning.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your 990v4 trainers, we recommend the following:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
- Cleaning Mesh/Upper: Wipe the mesh and other upper materials with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean, damp cloth to remove residue.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash them with mild detergent and air dry.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or place them in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation.
