FAQs

What makes the 990v4 trainers 'Made in USA'?

The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is domestically sourced and manufactured within the United States, reflecting a commitment to local production and quality standards.

How does the ABZORB midsole contribute to comfort?

The ABZORB midsole technology provides exceptional shock absorption, cushioning impact during heel strike and push-off, thereby reducing fatigue and enhancing overall comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 990v4 offers excellent cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and walking shoes. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or from reputable retailers. It typically involves measuring your foot length and comparing it to the provided conversion table for UK sizing.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and leather, and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the main difference between the 990v4 and other 990 versions?

Each version of the 990 line offers incremental updates in technology, materials, and design. The v4 is known for its distinct aesthetic, refined ENCAP sole, and the balance of suede, leather, and mesh construction.

Do these trainers come in other colorways?

Yes, the New Balance 990 series is often released in various colorways, including popular options like grey and different shades of orange and beige, depending on the specific model and season.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If the squeaking persists, check if the insole is slightly loose or if there's moisture trapped inside. Remove the insole, ensure both it and the inside of the shoe are dry, and reinsert the insole.

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the shoes are suitable for your gait. Uneven wear can also be a sign of specific foot mechanics. Consult a professional if you experience discomfort or notice rapid, uneven wear.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Avoid overtightening laces, which can put extra stress on them.
