Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty, scuffed, or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

General dirt or grime on mesh or sole

Wipe down affected areas with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoe or using abrasive cleaners.

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure you have selected the correct size (UK 14). Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more room or a snugger fit where needed. Allow for a short break-in period if new.

Shoe develops an odor

Remove insoles and air out shoes after each use. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb odors, then shake it out before wearing. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Unboxing: Remove your new New Balance 990v6 shoes from the packaging.
  2. Try On: Ensure the size UK 14 fits comfortably. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, supportive, but not overly tight fit. The shoe should feel secure without pinching or excessive movement inside.
  3. Break-In Period: While often comfortable from the first wear, a short break-in period with light activity can help the shoe conform optimally to your foot.

Product Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 990v6:

  • Suede Areas:
  1. Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage suede.
  3. Consider a suede protector spray for added resistance against water and stains.
  • Mesh Areas:
  1. Gently wipe with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap.
  2. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, which can damage the mesh fibers.
  • Sole Unit:
  1. Clean the rubber outsole and contoured midsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
  2. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn marks.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), which can warp materials or cause cracking.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your New Balance 990v6, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
