FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While the 990s offer excellent cushioning and support, they are generally considered more suited for daily wear, light running, and shorter distances rather than professional marathon training. Newer models might offer more advanced features for long-distance running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Trying them on in-store is the most accurate method. These trainers may fit true to size, but some users find them to run slightly large.

Can the insoles be replaced?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or different insoles if needed.

What is the primary benefit of Abzorb Technology?

Abzorb Technology is designed to provide superior shock absorption, reducing the impact on your feet and joints during wear.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Clean your suede trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or moisture. Regular brushing can help maintain the appearance of the suede.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?

It signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is American-made, reflecting New Balance's commitment to domestic manufacturing and quality standards.

Are there other colorways available for the 990 series?

Yes, the 990 series and related models like the 992 are available in various colorways, though specific availability may vary.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole may help reduce noise.

Uneven wear on the outsole

Check your walking gait. For persistent issues, consult a shoe specialist. Ensure proper rotation with other footwear if used for intense activities.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support features are suitable for your foot type.
