FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the 990 series is designed with running heritage in mind, and the addition of FuelCell technology provides the responsiveness needed for light to moderate running.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 990v6 typically fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit or wear thicker socks, you may want to consider your standard athletic shoe size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe. Always clean by hand.
What does the Made in USA tag signify?
It indicates that the footwear is manufactured in the United States, representing a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and domestic production standards.
How often should I apply a water repellent spray?
It is recommended to re-apply a light coat of water repellent every 3 to 6 months, depending on the frequency of wear and exposure to elements.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the suede material
Gently use a suede eraser or a dry suede-specific cleaning brush to lift the dirt and restore the nap.
Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened. As feet naturally swell throughout the day, adjusting the tension across the midfoot can improve comfort.
Accumulation of dust in the mesh underlay
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to lightly agitate the mesh, then use a low-suction vacuum attachment to remove the dislodged particles.
