FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 990v6 is engineered for comfort and daily support, it is best categorized as a lifestyle and walking shoe rather than a dedicated high-mileage running trainer.
How do I maintain the suede sections?
Keep them dry. If they get wet, dab with a clean cloth and let them air dry naturally. Use a suede-specific brush to keep the texture looking fresh.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the 990v6 features a removable insole, making it compatible with most custom orthotic inserts.
What is the primary difference in the 990v6 series?
The v6 update features significant midsole technology improvements, providing a lighter and more responsive cushioning experience compared to previous iterations.
Is this a wide-fit shoe?
This model features a standard fit. If you typically require extra width, consider trying the shoe on in-store to ensure comfort across the forefoot.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Unlace the shoe and re-thread to adjust tension across the instep.
Minor scuffs on suede
Gently use a suede eraser or a soft suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap.
Odors from frequent use
Remove the insole and allow the shoe to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since these shoes come pre-laced, setup is limited to adjusting the laces for your preferred tension. When sizing, ensure the UK 11.5 fit accommodates your foot width comfortably, as the 990 series tends to have a reliable, standard fit. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede or mesh cleaner applied with a damp cloth, and always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
