FAQs

Are the New Balance 990v4 suitable for running?

While the 990v4 was originally designed as a running shoe and offers excellent support, modern users often prefer them for lifestyle and comfort. For serious, high-mileage running, dedicated performance running shoes might offer more specialized features.

How do I determine my UK shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, typically available on their official website or retail partner sites. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is recommended for accuracy.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a suede protector spray for light water resistance.

What is the 'Magic Blue' on the sole?

The 'Magic Blue' refers to the distinct translucent blue color applied to the ENCAP sole unit and heel clip, providing a unique visual accent to the shoe.

How does the 990v4 compare to other 990 versions?

Each 990 version offers updates in technology and design. The v4 is known for its blend of classic aesthetics with ENCAP cushioning. Subsequent versions (v5, v6) introduce further refinements in comfort, materials, and styling.

Is the reflective 'N' branding visible in daylight?

The reflective material is designed to become highly visible when light hits it in low-light conditions. In normal daylight, it appears as standard branding.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a suede cleaning guide or product.

Soles feel slippery.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For persistent slipperiness on certain surfaces, consider their intended use and environment.

Laces are worn out.

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any standard athletic shoe laces will suffice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply unbox and wear them.

Compatibility: The 990v4 is designed as a versatile footwear option for adult males. It pairs well with a variety of casual and athletic attire. While originally conceived as a running shoe, its modern iterations are widely adopted for lifestyle wear.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 990v4 trainers:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
