FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 990 series has running roots, the 990v3 Bodega is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and daily casual use.
Does this model fit true to size?
Most users find the 990v3 runs true to standard sizing, though some prefer a half size up for a roomier fit.
How do I identify a genuine pair?
Check for the specific '2006' and '2021' embroidery on the heel and ensure the crimson Bodega logo is crisp and properly aligned.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and leather components. Always clean by hand.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the materials are not waterproof. We highly recommend using a protective spray to guard against light moisture.
Where is the 990v3 Bodega made?
These trainers are part of the 'Made in USA' collection, highlighting New Balance's commitment to domestic manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or worn down
Use a soft-bristled brush or a suede eraser to gently lift the fibers back into their original position.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use wooden shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather retain its shape.
Dirt on the cream ENCAP midsole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the midsole surface; avoid soaking the suede upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 990v3 Bodega trainers remain in peak condition, perform the following care steps:
- Protective Spray: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather before your first use.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the nap. For tougher spots, use a gentle leather cleaner on the beige overlays only.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant crimson logo and brown suede from fading.
- Rotation: Allow the shoes to air out between wears, especially after a full day of activity, to maintain the integrity of the internal materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair well with denim, chinos, or technical trousers, acting as a neutral foundation for diverse fashion styles.
