FAQs

Are the New Balance 990v6 suitable for running?

Yes, with FuelCell cushioning and an ENCAP midsole, they provide excellent comfort and support for avid runners, especially for daily training and long walks.

How do I best clean the different materials on these shoes?

For mesh, gently wipe with a mild soap and water solution. For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Always spot clean and avoid machine washing.

What does 'Made in USA' mean for these sneakers?

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?

Generally, New Balance 990 series shoes tend to run true to size. However, individual fit can vary, so consulting a size guide or trying them on is recommended if unsure.

Can these shoes be worn for casual everyday fashion?

Absolutely. The timeless design, premium aesthetic, and superior comfort of the 990v6 make them a perfect choice for stylish everyday wear.

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.

Setup & Breaking In

Upon first wear, your New Balance 990v6 may feel slightly firm. This is normal. The premium materials and advanced cushioning system are designed to conform to your foot over a short period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the shoe to mold to your unique foot shape for optimal comfort.

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.
