FAQs

Are the New Balance 990v6 suitable for wide feet?

The 990v6 is available in multiple widths. Check the product listing or New Balance's official sizing guide to see if a wide-width option is available for this specific model and colorway.

What is the main difference between the 990v5 and 990v6?

The 990v6 features an updated design with a more streamlined silhouette, a FuelCell insert in the midsole for enhanced comfort, and a modernized aesthetic compared to the 990v5.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Measure your foot length and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. The shoes should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. Consider trying them on in-store if possible.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and longevity.

What is the 'Made in USA' designation?

It signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is represented by domestic components and labor, reflecting New Balance's commitment to manufacturing in the USA.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides good traction. It is built to withstand regular wear and tear associated with daily use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are using the correct size by consulting the New Balance sizing chart.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction within the shoe. Try wearing thicker socks or using talcum powder lightly inside the shoe. If the noise persists, check if the insole is properly seated.

Scuff marks on the black upper

For minor scuffs, use a soft cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner or conditioner. For more significant marks, a black shoe polish may be used carefully, following product instructions.

  • Versatile, classic design that pairs with many outfits.
  • High-quality materials and craftsmanship.

Cons

  • Higher price point compared to other trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of foot shapes. While specific sizing recommendations are available, individual fit may vary.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for leather and mesh. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
