FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While the 990v6 offers excellent comfort and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday wear trainer. For high-impact athletic activities, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the 'Light Mushroom Moonrock' colourway?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap for mesh areas. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.
What is the significance of the Teddy Santis collaboration?
The collaboration with Teddy Santis brings his distinct design sensibilities and aesthetic to the iconic New Balance 990 silhouette, resulting in unique colourways and premium finishes.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can tolerate light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. Consider using a waterproofing spray for added protection.
What does 'MiUSA' stand for?
MiUSA stands for 'Made in USA', indicating that this product was manufactured in the United States, adhering to New Balance's quality standards for domestic production.
How does the UK 14 size fit compared to other sizes?
The UK 14 is a larger adult size. It is advisable to consult New Balance's official sizing chart for precise measurements or compare with other footwear you own.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
New Balance trainers, especially those with premium suede, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mould to your feet.
Colour transfer from suede
In damp conditions, some colour transfer from suede is possible. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protector spray. Avoid wearing with light-coloured socks until the issue is resolved.
Uneven wear on soles
Inspect the soles for any embedded debris. If the wear is uneven and significant, it may indicate an issue with the shoe's construction. Contact customer support for further assistance.
