FAQs

What does 'FuelCell' technology do?

FuelCell is New Balance's most responsive cushioning technology, designed to deliver a propulsive feel and high energy return, providing both comfort and speed for runners.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear, or just running?

The New Balance 990v6 is highly versatile. While engineered as a top-tier running shoe, its premium comfort, sophisticated design, and durable construction make it an excellent choice for daily casual wear as well.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper combines a breathable mesh underlay with high-quality pigskin and synthetic overlays, creating a durable, supportive, and visually appealing structure.

What does 'MADE in USA' mean for these shoes?

'MADE in USA' signifies that the shoes contain a domestic value of 70% or more. This represents New Balance's commitment to local manufacturing and high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring meticulous attention to detail in production.

How do I clean the pigskin and mesh parts of the shoe?

For cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently dab the area with a cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or fully submerging the shoes in water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?

Generally, New Balance sizing is consistent. However, individual fit can vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially given the new streamlined upper design of the v6 model.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting your lacing pattern; for tightness, try skipping an eyelet or using a looser knot. For looseness, use all eyelets and a tighter knot. Consider different sock thicknesses.

The shoe's appearance is getting dirty quickly.

Regularly clean your shoes following the care instructions. Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Prompt cleaning after exposure to dirt or mud helps maintain their fresh look. Consider a protective spray for suede/pigskin components (ensure it's suitable for the material).

The cushioning feels less responsive over time.

While FuelCell is durable, all shoe cushioning can compress over extensive use. If you're a high-mileage runner, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to extend the life of the cushioning. Ensure you're not using the shoes for activities beyond their intended design, which could prematurely wear down the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your New Balance 990v6 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply put them on and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. We recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure the most accurate fit. Take a short walk or run to assess comfort and make any final lacing adjustments.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile:

  • Running: Ideal for various types of runs, from daily training to longer distances, thanks to the FuelCell cushioning.
  • Casual Wear: Their premium aesthetic and comfortable fit make them perfect for everyday activities, complementing a wide range of casual outfits.
  • Light Athletics: Suitable for gym workouts, walking, and other low-impact athletic activities.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 990v6 trainers:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Lightly dab the affected areas. Avoid saturating the pigskin and mesh. Always air dry away from direct heat.
  • Drying: Never put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleaches, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and colors.
