FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
New Balance 990v6 generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual sneaker size for the best fit. If you are unsure, consider consulting a New Balance sizing chart.
Can I use these for running or intense workouts?
While exceptionally comfortable and supportive, the 990v6 are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear. For high-performance running or intense workouts, we recommend New Balance models specifically engineered for those activities.
What does 'Made in USA' mean for the product?
'Made in USA' signifies that these sneakers are crafted with a domestic value of 70% or more, indicating a commitment to local manufacturing and often higher standards of craftsmanship and materials.
How often should I clean my 990v6 sneakers?
It depends on how frequently you wear them and the conditions. For optimal appearance, we recommend wiping them down after each wear and performing a deeper clean as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or rain.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for custom orthotics if desired, or for easier cleaning and airing out of the shoe interior.
Are these suitable for all weather conditions?
The suede and mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or snow to protect the materials. A water and stain repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner.
Sneakers have an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles and allow the sneakers to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.
Mesh areas are stained or discolored.
Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and water. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. Ensure laces are tied securely.
