FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 990v3 has roots in performance running shoe design, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities. For serious or competitive running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is manufactured and assembled in the United States, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality craftsmanship and heritage production.

How do I clean the 'Raw Amethyst' colorway?

Clean the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede or mesh components, use a suede brush and specialized cleaners. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, wearing socks is highly recommended for comfort, hygiene, and to prevent blisters. The breathability of the shoe pairs well with moisture-wicking athletic socks.

What is the primary material used in this shoe?

The primary material for this specific variant (M990TD3) is premium leather, combined with other materials for support and comfort.

How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but the fit of the 990v3 can be slightly roomier than some other models. It's advisable to consult the New Balance size chart and customer reviews for the most accurate fit.

What is the warranty period for New Balance shoes?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details can be found on the official New Balance website or by contacting customer service.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Refer to the official New Balance size chart and compare with your current footwear. Consider the specific fit of the 990v3 model, which may differ slightly from other lines. Trying them on in-store or checking customer reviews for fit advice is recommended.

Leather creases easily

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shoe's shape.

Discoloration on suede areas

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, employ a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced comfort over time

The insoles may compress with extensive use. Consider replacing them with aftermarket insoles that offer customized support and cushioning if needed.

Care:
