FAQs

What is FuelCell cushioning?

FuelCell is a New Balance midsole foam technology engineered to deliver a highly energetic and propulsive feel. In the 990v6, it provides enhanced cushioning and responsiveness for superior comfort.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

While the 990v6 offers excellent cushioning and comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday wear, walking, and casual activities. For dedicated running or specific sports, New Balance offers other specialized models.

How should I clean the mixed materials of the upper?

For optimal care, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive soap to gently clean the mesh, pigskin, and leather components. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the delicate materials.

What does 'MiUSA' mean for my 990v6 trainers?

'MiUSA' (Made in the USA) signifies that at least 70% of the value of these trainers is domestically sourced in the United States. It represents New Balance's commitment to local manufacturing, though it applies to a limited portion of their overall US sales.

Do New Balance 990v6 trainers run true to size?

New Balance generally aims for consistent sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to try them on or consult a New Balance size chart to ensure the best fit. This specific model is UK size 7.5.

What is the primary material composition of the upper?

The upper features a multi-material construction including a technical mesh blend for breathability, with durable pigskin and synthetic overlays, and high-quality leather inserts for structural support and premium aesthetics.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

New trainers, especially those with premium materials, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and FuelCell cushioning to adapt to your foot's shape.

The trainers appear dirty or stained after light use.

Due to the blend of technical mesh, pigskin, and leather, regular gentle cleaning is recommended. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid letting dirt set in for too long.

A squeaking sound occurs when I walk.

This can sometimes happen with new footwear due to friction between components or the insole. Ensure your laces are tied securely and check for any small debris that might have entered the shoe. If the sound persists, the friction may lessen with continued wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your New Balance 990v6 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unlace, insert your feet, and adjust the lace-up closure for a secure and comfortable fit. A brief break-in period may be beneficial to fully conform the shoe to your foot.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and longevity of your New Balance 990v6 trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe down the mesh underlay, pigskin, synthetic overlays, and leather inserts. Avoid excessive scrubbing that could damage materials.
  • Drying: After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the shoe's structure, cushioning, and material integrity, especially for components like leather and pigskin.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
