FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 990v6 are designed primarily for comfort and style in everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered as high-performance running shoes.

How do I ensure I have the correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing provided (UK 9). It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult a size chart that compares UK, US, and EU sizing, as well as interior measurements if available.

What is the main difference between the 990v6 and older 990 models?

The 990v6 typically features updated cushioning technology, a revised sole unit for improved stability, and often a more contemporary aesthetic while retaining core New Balance design principles.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and comfort.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that at least 70% of the shoe's value is of domestic origin, reflecting New Balance's commitment to manufacturing in the United States and upholding specific quality standards.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain their appearance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on soles

This can sometimes occur with heavy use or specific gait patterns. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider rotating with other footwear if possible.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar material and length. New Balance offers replacement laces, or standard athletic laces can be used.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, double-check the sizing and consider if the shoe's structure suits your foot type.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your New Balance 990v6 trainers:
