FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 990 series originated as a performance running shoe, the modern 990v3 is primarily designed as a premium lifestyle and walking sneaker.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede and leather components, compromise the adhesives, and ruin the shoe's shape.
What does Made in USA mean for this model?
It signifies that the product was manufactured in the United States with high standards for domestic labor and material quality.
Do the reflective accents work in the dark?
Yes, the grey reflective elements are designed to catch light in low-visibility conditions, enhancing your presence to others.
How do I determine my size?
The 990v3 typically runs true to size, but if you have a wider foot, you may find that New Balance's standard sizing accommodates you better than other brands.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a blend of premium pigskin suede, mesh for breathability, and synthetic leather details.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface-level debris.
Midsole feels slightly stiff
The ENCAP support system requires a short break-in period to reach optimal comfort.
Scuff marks on the leather components
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe the area, followed by a light leather conditioner if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 990v3 sneakers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size, but the suede and leather may require a few wears to mold perfectly to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a light application of suede cleaner. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
- Protection: Before initial wear, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede products to guard against environmental elements.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the navy suede from fading over time.
