Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult males seeking a stylish and high-quality trainer with a heritage design. The key benefit is the blend of classic aesthetics with modern comfort technologies, offering both a fashion statement and a comfortable everyday shoe. A potential caveat is that while inspired by running shoes, they are best suited for casual wear rather than serious athletic performance. The New Balance 990 trainers, specifically this orange variant, offer a premium suede and mesh construction, featuring an ABZORB midsole for cushioning and a durable rubber outsole. This iteration maintains the iconic silhouette that has been a mark of quality and superior taste since its inception.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

While the 990 series has roots in running shoe technology, the V4 is primarily considered a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It offers excellent cushioning for walking and everyday activities but may not provide the specific support or performance required for intense running.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult the retailer's sizing guide. Measuring your foot length and width is recommended for accuracy.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede and mesh materials. Hand cleaning with a brush and mild soap is the preferred method to avoid damaging the shoe's structure and materials.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

The 'Made in USA' label signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is domestically manufactured. It reflects New Balance's commitment to quality craftsmanship and its long-standing manufacturing presence in the United States.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.

Is the orange color fade-resistant?

While efforts are made to ensure colorfastness, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Proper storage and care can help mitigate this.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or cleaner, following product instructions.

Mesh sections look discolored

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from any oils or debris. For persistent issues, the tread may be worn down, indicating it's time for replacement.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with a new pair of standard trainer laces. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.

  • Versatile for casual wear and fashion-forward outfits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The New Balance 990 trainers are designed for adult male footwear sizing. Their versatile design makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your suede and mesh trainers:

  1. Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Mesh: Spot clean mesh areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive soaking.
  3. Midsole/Outsole: Clean the rubber components with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the outsole tread.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and wash separately by hand or in a garment bag.
  5. Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat sources.
