FAQs

Are New Balance 990v6 suitable for athletic activities like running?

While exceptionally comfortable, the New Balance 990v6 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for all-day comfort and casual wear, rather than a specialized performance running shoe.

How do I ensure the correct sizing?

The New Balance 990v6 generally runs true to standard UK sizing. For the most accurate fit, we recommend trying them on, especially if you are between sizes or have specific foot concerns.

What materials are used in the 'White Sea Salt' 990v6?

This model features a premium blend of leather, breathable mesh, and synthetic overlays, providing a combination of durability, comfort, and the signature vintage aesthetic.

Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?

While durable, the mixed materials, especially the mesh and lighter colors, are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or applying a suitable water and stain repellent to offer some protection against light moisture.

How should I clean the metallic silver 'N' logo?

Gently wipe the metallic 'N' logo with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage its finish.

Do these sneakers offer good arch support?

The FuelCell cushioning system provides a supportive and responsive base. While it offers good general arch support, individuals with specific orthopedic needs may consider custom insoles.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?

The 'Made in USA' designation highlights New Balance's commitment to high standards of craftsmanship, quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail in the manufacturing process.

Is there a break-in period for the 990v6?

While designed for immediate comfort, some users may find a short break-in period beneficial for the materials to fully conform to their unique foot shape. This typically involves a few wears.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers appear dirty quickly

Regularly spot clean visible dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Apply a suitable water and stain repellent after cleaning to minimize future marks.

Comfort doesn't feel as expected

Ensure you have the correct size. Allow for a short break-in period, as the materials and cushioning may need to conform to your foot shape. Consider wearing appropriate socks.

Laces come undone frequently

Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot', for added security during wear.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by trapped moisture under the insole. Remove the insole and allow both the shoe interior and insole to air dry completely. If the issue persists, check for any loose components.

Setup Wearing your New Balance 990v6 sneakers is as straightforward as lacing them up. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for comfortable movement and proper foot circulation. Take a few steps to adjust to the feel of the FuelCell cushioning. ### Compatibility This specific variant of the New Balance 990v6 is designed for adult males, offering a UK size 10.5 fit. The overall 990v6 series is generally known for a consistent fit, but individual foot shapes may vary. It's recommended to try them on to confirm the ideal size for you. Their versatile aesthetic complements a wide range of personal styles and occasions, from casual outings to more refined everyday wear. ### Care Maintaining the pristine condition of your New Balance 990v6, especially with its 'White Sea Salt' colorway and mixed materials, is crucial. 1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and scuffs on the mesh and cream overlays, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. 2. Leather Care: For the leather sections, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth. 3. Mudguard: The light grey mudguard can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth or soft brush. 4. Outsole: Clean the black rubber outsole with a brush and water to remove debris and maintain traction. 5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for mixed materials to help protect against elements and accidental spills. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. 6. Drying: Allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. 7. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
