FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The New Balance 990v4 generally fits true to size for most adults, though personal preference for toe-box space may vary.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, you should never submerge suede trainers in a washing machine, as the water and agitation will ruin the material and shape of the shoe.

Is the 990v4 suitable for running?

While it was designed with heritage running technology, the 990v4 is best suited for lifestyle and casual walking use today.

How do I protect the suede from stains?

Using a reputable water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede can provide a protective barrier against the elements.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium suede, providing a soft texture and durable finish.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt on the suede upper

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the nap.

Water spots or dampness

Stuff the shoes with white paper towels to absorb moisture from the inside and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Sole scuffing

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the rubber outsole and midsole areas.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are made with premium suede, proper care is essential to protect your investment. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as suede is highly absorbent. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt or debris. For deeper cleaning, utilize specific suede-cleaning products designed for delicate materials, ensuring you test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the violet and grey tones. Use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the trainer over time.
