While the 990 series was originally designed with running in mind, the v4 is more often considered a lifestyle or performance trainer for walking and everyday wear due to its cushioning and support features. For serious road running, dedicated running shoes might be more appropriate.
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or retailer sites. It's recommended to measure your foot length in UK sizing. The provided size is UK 7.
ENCAP is a core New Balance technology that involves a shock-absorbing EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) core encapsulated within a durable polyurethane (PU) rim. This provides both cushioning and support.
The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some protection.
Each version of the 990 has seen design and technology updates. The v4 is known for its specific blend of comfort, stability, and the aesthetic refinement introduced in that iteration, building upon the legacy of previous models.
Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
