FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 990 series was originally designed for running, the 990v4 is now primarily positioned as a premium lifestyle and walking trainer.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry brush for light dust and a suede-specific cleaning block for localized stains. Avoid using heavy water immersion.
What is the primary benefit of the ENCAP midsole?
The ENCAP midsole offers a combination of a soft foam core for cushioning and a rigid polyurethane rim for essential support and longevity.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to use custom orthotics for personalized arch support.
Are these shoes true to size?
The 990v4 typically fits true to standard UK sizing, but if you have wider feet, you may find the suede upper offers a comfortable, flexible fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry brush to gently lift dirt without saturating the material with water.
Midsole foam feels slightly firm
The ENCAP technology is designed for stability; ensure you are using the original provided insoles for the intended cushioning experience.
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly across the midfoot; the suede material will slightly relax and mold to the foot shape with consistent wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent long-term durability provided by the ENCAP midsole
- High-quality suede material offers a premium look and comfortable fit
- Proven silhouette design with decades of heritage
- Provides balanced support for extended periods of wear
Cons
- The vibrant orange colorway is highly visible and shows dirt easily
- Suede requires specialized care compared to synthetic materials
- Refined styling may be less suited for high-intensity athletic performance than modern performance-specific shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 990v4 trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from suede, you should treat the shoes with a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before the first wear. If they become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the suede and the adhesives holding the sole. To maintain the shape, store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper when not in use. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK sizing to fully benefit from the internal support structure.
