FAQs

What kind of activities are these shoes suitable for?

The New Balance 990 V6 is designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and support for casual walking, light jogging, and general urban activities. Its non-slip and shock-absorbing features make it suitable for various surfaces and daily use.

How do I clean the leather upper of my New Balance 990 V6?

To clean the leather, gently wipe down the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather.

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 990 V6 generally runs true to size. This specific variant is UK adult foot size 13. It's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering your preferred sock thickness.

What does 'shock-absorbing' mean for my feet and comfort?

The shock-absorbing technology in the sole is designed to cushion your foot and absorb the impact generated during walking or standing. This helps reduce strain on your joints and provides a more comfortable experience, especially during long periods of wear.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the non-slip sole provides good traction, the leather material is not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's longevity. A water-repellent spray designed for leather can offer some protection against light moisture.

How durable is the leather on these shoes?

The New Balance 990 V6 is crafted with premium leather, known for its durability and ability to withstand regular wear. With proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and conditioning, the leather upper will maintain its quality and appearance for a long time.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK adult foot size (UK 13). New Balance generally runs true to size. Consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses or adjusting your lacing technique for a more customized fit.

Soles seem less non-slip over time.

Regularly clean the outsole to remove accumulated dirt, dust, or debris that might reduce traction. Use a brush or damp cloth to scrub the tread patterns. Avoid wearing them on extremely oily or slick surfaces not intended for general footwear.

Leather appears dull or scuffed.

Clean the leather with a soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or protector can help restore its appearance. For deeper scuffs, a professional leather repair service might be needed.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoe.

Remove the insoles (if removable) and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let sit overnight, then shake it out. Using moisture-wicking socks and allowing shoes to air out after each wear can prevent odors.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather New Balance 990 V6:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
  2. Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth, gently wipe the affected areas, and then wipe off any excess with a clean, damp cloth. Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps maintain its natural luster.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  5. Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or insoles if needed to keep them fresh.
  6. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather and internal components.
