It signifies that these shoes are manufactured in the United States using high-quality materials and craftsmanship, adhering to rigorous production standards.
Do New Balance 990v6 shoes run true to size?

What is the primary difference between FuelCell and ENCAP cushioning?
FuelCell provides high energy return for a propulsive feel, while ENCAP combines soft cushioning with a durable rim for enhanced support and durability. They work together for a balanced ride.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Allow a short break-in period. The premium materials and cushioning are designed to adapt to your foot over time. Wear them for shorter periods initially.
The white mesh or cream overlays appear dirty or stained.
Gently spot clean the mesh with a mild soap and cold water solution. For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
My feet feel warm after prolonged wear.
While the mesh provides breathability, the suede and leather overlays can retain some heat. Consider wearing breathable socks. Ensure shoes are not too tight, which can restrict air circulation.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your 990v6:
- General Cleaning: Always spot clean. Never machine wash or tumble dry your your shoes, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Mesh: Gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water.
- Suede: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, applying sparingly and following product instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
- Leather Overlays: Wipe with a damp cloth and a very small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Outsole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush with soap and water to clean the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
