For best results, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner and eraser kit is recommended. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally after cleaning.

The 'MADE in USA' designation for the 990v6 indicates that a significant portion (70% or more) of the shoe's domestic value comes from materials and labor sourced within the United States. This reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship and supports domestic manufacturing.

While the 990v6 is durable, the pigskin suede material is not inherently waterproof and can be susceptible to water damage and staining. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water to preserve the shoe's appearance and integrity. A water-repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection.

New Balance shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on or comparing your usual shoe size with New Balance's sizing chart for the most accurate fit. Remember to allow adequate room for your toes.

The reflective accents on the 990v6 are fully functional. They are designed to catch and reflect light, enhancing your visibility to others in low-light conditions, which adds a practical safety feature for evening or early morning wear.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction for best results.

Remove insoles and allow them to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Shoe deodorizers can also be used.

While FuelCell is durable, all cushioning materials eventually compress. Ensure shoes are not excessively worn beyond their intended lifespan. Consider replacing insoles with fresh ones if needed.

Ensure you are tying a proper double knot. Alternatively, explore different lacing techniques that offer a more secure hold.

Clean promptly with a soft cloth or brush, mild soap (like diluted laundry detergent), and cold water. Gently rub the stained area and rinse thoroughly, then air dry.
