FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v6 true to size?
Generally, the 990v6 is known to run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary, so trying them on or consulting size charts is recommended.
How do I clean the leather and suede on these trainers?
Use a soft brush for suede and a slightly damp cloth for leather. For tougher stains, consider a dedicated leather or suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the main difference between the 990v5 and 990v6?
The 990v6 features an updated design with a more modern silhouette, improved cushioning technology (often including FuelCell foam), and subtle aesthetic changes compared to the 990v5.
Can these trainers be worn for running?
While the 990 series offers excellent support and cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and walking shoes rather than performance running shoes. For dedicated running, specific running shoes are recommended.
What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?
It indicates that at least 70% of the manufacturing costs of the shoe occurred in the United States, reflecting a commitment to domestic production and quality standards.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
What is the warranty on New Balance footwear?
New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific details can be found on the official New Balance website or by contacting customer service.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try inserting a powder or talc into the shoe or examining the insole for proper placement.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Material scuffing or discoloration
Address scuffs immediately with appropriate leather or suede cleaners. Protect the shoes from excessive moisture and harsh chemicals to prevent discoloration.
