FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v6 good for running?
While the 990v6 offers excellent cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for comfort and style. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart available online or in-store. It's recommended to measure your foot length and width and compare it to the chart. Trying them on in person is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
What is the main difference between the 990v5 and 990v6?
The 990v6 features an updated design with a FuelCell foam insert in the midsole for enhanced comfort and responsiveness, a more modern aesthetic, and typically uses a combination of suede, mesh, and synthetic overlays.
How often should I clean my 990v6 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty. For regular maintenance, a quick brush of the suede and a wipe down of other materials after wear can help prolong their life.
What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?
The 'Made in USA' label signifies that at least 70% of the value of the shoe is domestic, reflecting a commitment to quality manufacturing standards and often higher-grade materials.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 990v6 trainers, especially due to the suede components. Hand washing with appropriate cleaners is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Walking around the house can help them mold to your feet.
Discoloration of cream color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Clean with mild soap and water, and allow to air dry.
