Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
To get started with your New Balance 990v6 trainers, simply slip them on. Ensure a comfortable fit by adjusting the laces. The UK 11 size is designed for adults, so confirm this matches your usual foot size for optimal comfort and support. A proper fit is crucial for utilizing the shock-absorbing and non-slip benefits fully.
Compatibility
The sleek black and white colourway of the M990BK6 model makes these trainers highly versatile. They can be easily paired with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, from jeans and shorts to chinos and light trousers. Their classic design complements both activewear and everyday streetwear, making them a foundational piece in your wardrobe.
Care
Maintaining the premium leather of your 990v6 trainers is key to their longevity and appearance. Follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry brush or cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. 
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is particularly important if the shoes are exposed to dry conditions.
- Water Protection: While the leather offers some natural resistance, consider applying a water-resistant spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains. These trainers are not fully waterproof.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
