FAQs
What is FuelCell technology?
FuelCell is a New Balance midsole foam that delivers a propulsive feel to help drive you forward. It's designed for high energy return and a responsive cushioning experience.
How does ENCAP cushioning work?
ENCAP is a core of soft EVA cushioning in the midsole, surrounded by a tough polyurethane rim. This combination provides both soft support and durable stability underfoot, particularly in the heel area.
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the 990v6 offers advanced cushioning, it's primarily designed as a premium lifestyle and walking shoe, not a dedicated performance running shoe. For serious running, New Balance offers other specialized models.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
For mesh, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
What does 'Made in USA' signify for these sneakers?
The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that a significant portion of the sneaker's materials and manufacturing takes place in the United States, often associated with premium craftsmanship and quality control.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Due to the suede and mesh materials, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or puddles. A protective spray can offer some water resistance, but they are best suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions.
Sneakers feel less comfortable or supportive over time.
Check the insoles. If they are worn, replacing them with new insoles can often restore comfort and support. Ensure they are the correct size and type for athletic shoes.
Laces constantly come untied.
Try a double knot or switch to laces with a slightly rougher texture. Ensure the laces are not too short, allowing for a secure knot.
