FAQs
Are these true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 990v6 generally follows standard sizing, though some users find the toe box slightly more spacious due to the v6 design.
Can I use these for running?
While the 990v6 is highly comfortable and supportive for walking, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
How do I best protect the white suede?
Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for indoor and outdoor use without marking standard surfaces.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?
It indicates that the shoes are manufactured in the United States with a domestic value of 70% or more, reflecting a commitment to high-standard manufacturing practices.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust on suede
Gently use a suede brush in a circular motion to lift and remove particles.
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Staining from liquids
Blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the suede fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear out of the box with no complex setup required. For compatibility, they pair naturally with neutral-toned clothing or minimalist ensembles. Because of the suede and mesh composition, keep the shoes away from heavy moisture and mud. To maintain their appearance, use a suede-specific brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. If deeper cleaning is necessary, use a professional-grade shoe cleaner formulated for delicate materials and avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine.
