FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the pigskin suede and weaken the construction. Use manual spot-cleaning methods.
Are the 990v4s suitable for running?
While the 990 series originated as a running shoe, the v4 is primarily positioned as a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for walking and daily activities.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on at the end of the day when feet are at their largest.
What does the 'MADE in USA' label imply?
It signifies that the footwear is manufactured in the United States with a commitment to premium craftsmanship and material standards.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Water and mud can stain and permanently damage the suede material. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede surface
Use a soft dry brush and gently stroke the suede in one direction to lift and remove debris.
Stiffness when first wearing the shoes
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors over a few days to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser to help blend the nap and hide the scuff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The 990v4 features a standard lace-up closure which allows for a customized fit across the instep. When sizing, ensure your foot is measured accurately, as sizes are provided in UK adult standards. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the suede. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated sneaker cleaner applied sparingly. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant brown and pink color tones from fading.
