FAQs

Are these New Balance 990v6 trainers suitable for serious running?

While the New Balance 990v6 offers advanced cushioning and support, making them comfortable for light running or daily jogs, they are primarily designed for versatile daily wear and comfort. For dedicated long-distance or high-performance running, New Balance offers more specialized running shoe models.

How do I properly clean the suede material on these trainers?

To clean the suede, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush. For small marks, use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.

What does the 'Made in USA' designation mean for these trainers?

The 'Made in USA' designation for New Balance products signifies that these trainers are crafted in one of New Balance's manufacturing facilities within the United States. This highlights a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and often specific manufacturing standards and local production.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. While durable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the material and potentially affect the shoe's structure. It's recommended to apply a water-repellent suede protector spray for better protection against light moisture, but avoid excessive wetness.

Are New Balance 990v6 trainers true to size?

New Balance trainers, including the 990v6, are generally considered to fit true to size. This specific model is a UK size 9.5. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so if you are unsure, it's always best to try them on or consult a New Balance specific sizing chart for precise measurements (Info needed).

What activities are these trainers best suited for?

These 990v6 trainers are highly versatile and best suited for everyday casual wear, walking, running errands, light gym workouts, and casual social engagements. Their blend of comfort, support, and durable construction makes them excellent for active daily use.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions you expose them to. For optimal maintenance, a quick brush after each wear to remove dust and dirt is beneficial. Deep cleaning for stains or dullness should be done as needed, typically every few weeks or months with regular use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system to customize the fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 9.5 for your foot. New Balance often offers different width options in their footwear; verify if this model has alternative widths if the standard fit is consistently uncomfortable (Info needed).

Suede upper appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser. For more significant discoloration or stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions carefully.

Squeaking sound when walking.

A common cause for squeaking in new shoes is the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and reinserting them. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also reduce friction. If the squeak persists, inspect the outsole for any loose components (Info needed).

Foot odor develops.

Ensure you wear breathable socks. Remove insoles periodically to allow them and the shoes to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure you get the most out of your New Balance 990v6 Trainers, proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care are essential.

Setup

  1. Lacing: Loosen the laces and slide your foot in. Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict blood flow, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

  • Style: The classic black and white color scheme and versatile silhouette make these trainers compatible with a wide range of outfits, from athletic shorts and joggers to denim jeans and chinos.
  • Activities: Best suited for walking, daily wear, light jogging, gym workouts, and casual social activities. They offer excellent support for standing and moving throughout the day.
  • Foot Type: The supportive design aims to accommodate various foot types, providing comfort and stability. (Info needed: Check if specific width options are available for specialized needs.)

Care

Maintaining the durable suede upper and overall integrity of your trainers will extend their lifespan and appearance.

  • Cleaning Suede: Regularly use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For minor scuffs or marks, a suede eraser can be effective. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
  • Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the suede.
  • Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to guard against moisture and dirt.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
