The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that a higher percentage of the shoe's value is attributed to domestic manufacturing, often correlating with premium materials and craftsmanship.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart provided. These are unisex trainers, so men's and women's sizing conversions may apply. Measure your foot length and compare it with the chart.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Color appears different from images online.
This can be due to variations in lighting, environmental factors, and display device differences. Refer to product descriptions for color details and accept slight variations.
Sizing seems slightly off.
Ensure you are referencing the correct size chart for unisex footwear. Consider the specific fit preferences, as the 990v1 is known for its supportive, structured feel which may differ from softer, more flexible shoes.
