FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 990v6 offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday comfort and durability rather than performance running.
What material are the 990v6 trainers made from?
The 990v6 trainers typically feature a combination of suede and mesh, with some variations potentially including leather elements. The specific materials contribute to their durability and classic aesthetic.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. For the 990v6, UK size 5 is specified.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the trainers are wear-resistant, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the main benefit of the 'Made in USA' tag?
The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that a higher percentage of the shoe's value is from domestic content and manufacturing, often associated with premium quality and craftsmanship.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the laces.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's shape suits your foot.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective, followed by brushing.
