FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 990 series generally fits true to size, but the leather construction may feel slightly snug initially and will break in over time.
Can I run in these shoes?
While the 990 series has performance roots, this version is categorized as a lifestyle sneaker and is better suited for walking and casual wear rather than intense running.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede eraser and a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the suede sections without damaging the texture.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the leather and suede materials are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding wet weather to prevent water stains and material degradation.
What is the significance of the numbers on the heel?
The '2006' and '2021' refer to the 15-year anniversary of the Bodega boutique, marking their inception and the year of this collaboration.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust on suede
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently brush in one direction to lift dirt.
Creasing on the leather upper
Insert wooden shoe trees when not in use to help the leather return to its natural shape.
Light scuffs on the midsole
Gently wipe with a damp cloth or a melamine sponge to restore the cream finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, start by applying a high-quality leather protector spray before your first use. Since these are made from premium leather and suede, avoid machine washing or submerging them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. For deeper stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a microfiber cloth rather than applying soap directly to the material. Store these in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to maintain the shape of the leather upper.
