FAQs
What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?
'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is represented by domestic manufacturing and components, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality and heritage production.
How does the 'Raw Amethyst' colorway look in person?
The 'Raw Amethyst' colorway is a distinct shade of purple, often appearing rich and deep, sometimes with subtle blue undertones, providing a unique visual appeal.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable and supportive due to ENCAP technology, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-impact athletic performance.
What materials are used in the New Balance 990v3 M990TD3?
This specific variant features a premium leather upper. Other variants in the 990v3 line may incorporate suede or mesh.
How should I care for the leather on these shoes?
Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for leather footwear.
Can I find this model in other sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 990v3 is available in a range of sizes and materials. Please check other listings for different size and material options.
What is the return policy for New Balance footwear?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please refer to the specific retailer's policy where the purchase was made for details on returns and exchanges.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or discomfort
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try adjusting the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Consider using insoles if additional arch support is needed.
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural characteristic of leather over time. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shoe's shape when not in use and to minimize deep creases.
Color transfer from dye
In rare cases, the dye may transfer to light-colored socks or surfaces, especially when new or wet. Allow the shoes to air out and consider using a protective spray designed for leather and suede.
