FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The New Balance 990 trainers offer excellent cushioning and support, making them suitable for moderate running distances and everyday wear. For marathon training or high-impact professional running, consult specialized running shoe guides.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. Measure your foot length and width to find the best fit. This guide specifies a UK 7.5.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and cushioning technology.

What is the main difference between the 990 and 992 series?

While both are part of the Made in USA line, the 990 and 992 series often feature subtle updates in cushioning technology, design aesthetics, and materials. Specific differences can vary by model year and release.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and traction, providing reliable performance for running and walking on various surfaces under normal usage conditions.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

It indicates that at least 70% of the manufacturing costs are incurred in the United States, signifying a commitment to quality craftsmanship and materials sourced or processed domestically.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot shape.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or friction. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Suede material looks dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
