FAQs

What does 'MiUSA' stand for?

MiUSA stands for 'Made in USA', indicating that the shoe was manufactured in the United States, often implying a higher standard of craftsmanship and material quality.

What is FuelCell technology?

FuelCell is a New Balance midsole foam technology designed to deliver maximum energy return, providing a propulsive feel and enhancing responsiveness for a fast and lively ride.

How does ENCAP cushioning work?

ENCAP cushioning is a core of soft EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam surrounded by a rim of tough polyurethane, providing both soft shock absorption and durable support, particularly in the heel area.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 990v6 offers excellent comfort and cushioning for daily wear and walking, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. For dedicated running, New Balance offers other models specifically engineered for performance running.

How should I clean the suede material?

To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner should be used carefully, following the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.

When was the New Balance 990v6 MiUSA Navy White released?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede eraser or cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid water saturation.

Shoes feel less supportive or cushioned over time.

While FuelCell and ENCAP are durable, all cushioning eventually compresses. Ensure proper fit and consider if it's time for a new pair after extensive use, typically 300-500 miles for active footwear.

Shoes develop an odor.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use (remove before wearing).

Laces frequently come untied.

Ensure you are using a proper double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces with a different material that offers more grip if the current ones are exceptionally slick.

Care & Maintenance

  • Suede Cleaning:
  1. Brush off loose dirt with a suede brush (Info needed: specific type if any) in one direction.
  2. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
  3. Avoid harsh scrubbing or submerging suede in water, as this can damage the material.
  • Mesh Cleaning:
  1. Gently wipe mesh areas with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and cool water.
  2. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • General Cleaning:
  1. Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
  2. For stubborn marks on the midsole, a soft-bristled brush with mild soap can be effective.
  • Drying:
  1. Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can warp materials.
  2. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and mesh to protect against the elements and prolong their appearance.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
