FAQs

Is the New Balance 990v4 suitable for running?

Yes, the 990v4 was originally designed as a high-performance running shoe and still offers the support and cushioning necessary for walking and light jogging.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Do not submerge in water. Use a dry suede brush or eraser to clean surface dirt.

Are these shoes true to size?

The 990v4 generally follows standard athletic shoe sizing, but it is recommended to reference your specific UK size to ensure the best fit.

What does 'Made in the USA' mean for this shoe?

It signifies that the footwear is manufactured in the United States with a domestic value of 70% or more, adhering to stringent craftsmanship standards.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

Suede is sensitive to moisture. While treated suede handles light conditions better, it is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent damage.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the 990v4 is designed to be versatile for all genders, ensuring consistent comfort and performance across the size range.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove surface dust.

Water spots on the material

Let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede eraser once fully dry.

Fit feels too snug initially

The suede construction will naturally adapt slightly to your foot shape over the first few wears as the materials break in.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior build quality through the Made in the USA program
  • Timeless design suitable for both athletic and lifestyle settings
  • High-quality suede material offers premium comfort
  • Excellent heritage status as a long-standing performance series

Cons

  • Suede material requires careful protection from water and dirt
  • Limited availability for specific sizing compared to mass-market models
  • Refined design may feel less 'technical' than modern synthetic racers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the 990v4 utilizes suede, initial protection is key; apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first wear to prevent marks. Compatibility is straightforward as the shoe follows standard adult sizing; however, since it is a premium product, ensure your sizing is verified against the specific UK 6.5 footprint or your respective variant size. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a specialized suede eraser for stubborn surface scuffs. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the purple pigments.
