FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the 990v4 is constructed from suede and mesh, which are not waterproof. Use a protective spray for light water resistance.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the pigskin suede and the integrity of the cushioning. Only surface clean manually.
Is the 990v4 suitable for running?
While it has running heritage, it is best suited as a high-performance lifestyle trainer for walking and daily activity.
How do I determine my size?
New Balance sizing is generally standard; consult the provided UK size guide or compare with your existing trainers.
What is the primary material?
The upper consists of premium pigskin suede overlays combined with high-quality breathable mesh.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede eraser to gently buff away marks.
Shoe feels slightly tight initially
Loosen the laces to allow the upper material to flex, as the suede will naturally soften and break in over time.

- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
