FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the 990v6 is built on a performance running chassis featuring FuelCell technology, it is primarily favored today as a high-comfort lifestyle and walking shoe.
How do I clean the mesh panels?
The mesh can be cleaned using a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush, followed by air drying away from heat sources.
Does the 990v6 run true to size?
Yes, the 990v6 typically fits true to size, though the suede construction may offer a slightly more structured feel compared to full-mesh trainers.
Can I use these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these in heavy rain, as water can stain the suede and potentially cause the materials to bleed or lose shape.
What does MiUSA stand for?
MiUSA stands for 'Made in USA,' indicating that the shoe is manufactured domestically with a domestic value of 70% or more.
How often should I clean the suede?
Regular maintenance with a soft brush after every few wears will help prevent dirt from setting into the suede fibers.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust on the black suede
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface particles.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Mild discoloration or water marks
Apply a suede-safe protective spray after cleaning to provide a barrier against environmental elements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers use high-quality suede, they should not be machine washed, as this can degrade the texture and color of the material. To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft cloth, dabbing rather than rubbing to avoid pushing debris into the fibers. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the black dye to fade over time. Ensure proper fit by checking your size against standard adult UK 13 dimensions to allow for natural foot expansion during the day.
