FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 990v6 offers excellent cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and trainers for everyday wear and light activities, not for intense or competitive running.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. The UK 6.5 is a specific measurement; refer to official guides for accurate conversion.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers can handle light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may damage the materials, especially the suede. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

What is the main difference between the 990v6 and previous versions?

The v6 features updated modern aesthetics, improved cushioning technology (like FuelCell integration in some models), and often a more streamlined silhouette compared to older versions.

How often should I clean my 990v6 trainers?

Clean as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular light brushing can help maintain their appearance between deeper cleanings.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

It signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is of U.S. origin and has been manufactured in the United States.

Are there other color options available for the 990v6?

Yes, the 990v6 model is available in various colorways, including Grey, Navy, and other black variations, often with different material compositions.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the sole and upper. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Dirt on suede or leather

For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. For leather, wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. If significantly worn, consider professional sole replacement if possible.
