FAQs

How do I clean the white mesh and leather parts of my 990v6 sneakers?

For mesh, use a soft brush and a mild soap-and-water solution, gently scrubbing. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or gym workouts?

While the 990v6 offers excellent cushioning and comfort for walking and daily wear, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and comfort shoe. For high-performance running or intense gym workouts, New Balance offers other specialized models.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these sneakers?

'Made in USA' indicates that these sneakers are manufactured in New Balance's domestic factories, often associated with premium quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail in materials and construction.

What is FuelCell cushioning and how does it benefit me?

FuelCell is a New Balance midsole foam technology designed to deliver a high-rebound, propulsive feel. It provides exceptional energy return and cushioning, enhancing comfort and responsiveness during wear.

How can I prevent my white sneakers from yellowing over time?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Store them in a cool, dry place. Regular gentle cleaning also helps prevent dirt and contaminants from causing discoloration.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

New Balance 990 series shoes are generally known for a consistent fit. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend trying them on or consulting a New Balance size guide for the most accurate fit specific to the 990v6 model.

Troubleshooting

White upper appears dirty quickly

Regularly spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated sneaker cleaner and soft brush. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray after cleaning.

Shoes develop an odor

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to allow them to dry. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sneaker deodorizers when not in use.

Slight squeaking sound while walking

Sometimes squeaking can be caused by moisture or friction between shoe components. Try dusting a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. Check for any loose debris caught in the outsole.

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are tying your laces with a secure knot, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones that have more texture.

Setup, Compatibility & CareInstructions for your New Balance 990v6

Setup

Getting started with your New Balance 990v6 is straightforward. Simply lace up the shoes using the standard `lace up closure`. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit that supports your foot without constriction.

This sneaker is designed for adult wearers and is versatile enough to complement various styles. Its classic 'White Sea Salt' colorway and timeless design make it compatible with: - Casual jeans and t-shirts - Athleisure wear - Chinos or smart trousers for a refined casual look - Shorts for a comfortable summer aesthetic.

Care

Maintaining the pristine condition of your white New Balance 990v6 requires regular care:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the affected area on both the mesh upper and leather overlays.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, especially on the white mesh, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution. Apply a small amount to a soft brush and scrub gently. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources like radiators, as this can damage materials or cause yellowing.
  4. Protection: Consider using a shoe protector spray designed for leather and mesh to create a barrier against water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can discolour or damage the materials.
