FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 990 series has athletic heritage, the 990v3 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking shoe. For high-intensity running, consider specific New Balance performance models.
How should I clean the mesh panels?
Use a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth to gently dab the mesh. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to prevent fraying.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Yes, the ENCAP midsole offers significant structural support and cushioning throughout the arch, which is a hallmark of the 990 series.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the integrity of the adhesive used in the construction. Always clean by hand.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can swap the laces with any standard athletic lace if you prefer a different length or color.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently lift stains and restore the nap of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for premium suede footwear; use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
