Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your New Balance 990v6 trainers is straightforward. Simply unpack them, lace them up to your preferred tension, and adjust for a secure, comfortable fit. The shoe is designed to adapt to your foot over a short period, so an initial wear or two will help it conform perfectly.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for versatile use across various casual and lifestyle settings. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic and casual clothing, from jeans and chinos to shorts and athletic wear. They do not require any specific accessories or equipment for use.
Care
To ensure your New Balance 990v6 trainers maintain their premium look and feel, especially the delicate pigskin suede, follow these care instructions:
- Spot Cleaning for Suede: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning Mesh and Synthetics: For the mesh and synthetic parts, use a mild soap solution mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid saturating the shoe with water.
- Insole Care: Removable insoles can be hand-washed separately with mild soap and air-dried to keep the interior fresh.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Never place them in a washing machine or dryer, or expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink, crack, or lose shape.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
