FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear or just running?

The New Balance 990v6 is designed with advanced running technologies like FuelCell and ENCAP for optimal performance during athletic activities. However, its premium materials and sophisticated, streamlined aesthetic also make it a comfortable and stylish choice for everyday casual wear.

What do 'FuelCell' and 'ENCAP' technologies do?

FuelCell is a high-rebound foam integrated into the midsole that provides increased propulsion and a more energetic feel, enhancing your running efficiency. ENCAP is a core of soft EVA foam with a tough polyurethane rim, offering durable support and maximum shock absorption, particularly under the heel.

How should I clean the suede and mesh materials on my 990v6?

For best results, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt from both the suede and mesh. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild shoe cleaner designed for suede. Always allow your shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.

What does 'MADE in USA' signify for this product?

The 'MADE in USA' designation for the 990v6 means that the shoe has a domestic value of 70% or more, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality craftsmanship and domestic manufacturing standards.

Is the sizing true to fit for the New Balance 990v6?

New Balance 990v6 generally runs true to size. We recommend selecting your standard UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, it's often advisable to try the larger size for running shoes or consult a detailed New Balance sizing guide for the best fit.

Can I use these shoes for sports other than running?

While optimized for running, the stable design and comfortable cushioning of the 990v6 make it suitable for light gym workouts or extended walking. However, for sports requiring specialized lateral support, ankle stability, or specific grip patterns, dedicated footwear might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose during wear.

Adjust the lacing tension. Consider trying different lacing patterns that provide more or less room in specific areas. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 8; comfort can vary with foot width and arch.

Suede material appears dirty, faded, or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, carefully blot with a damp cloth and a small amount of specialized suede cleaner, then allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Experiencing discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Ensure your socks are appropriate for running and fit well. Allow for a short break-in period if the shoes are new, as materials conform to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist for gait analysis to confirm the shoe's suitability for your stride.

Shoe sole feels less responsive or worn out quickly.

The lifespan of running shoe soles depends on usage. FuelCell and ENCAP are durable, but heavy use will lead to natural wear. Ensure proper cleaning to prevent dirt from degrading materials. If the responsiveness significantly diminishes, it may be time to consider replacement.

Pros - Exceptional comfort and responsiveness from FuelCell and ENCAP technologies, ideal for various running distances. - Durable construction utilizing premium pigskin, suede, and mesh materials for longevity. - Versatile design suitable for both dedicated running and as a stylish casual shoe. - High-quality craftsmanship backed by New Balance's MADE in USA commitment. - Modern, streamlined aesthetic that stands out. ### Cons - Primarily engineered for running performance, which might be more than needed for purely casual users. - Premium materials like suede require specific care to maintain their appearance and integrity. - Info needed: Potential break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup and Compatibility 1. Lacing: Upon first wear, adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around your foot. Ensure the tongue is centered and that there are no pressure points. Experiment with different lacing patterns to accommodate your specific foot width and arch support needs. 2. Sizing: The 990v6 is designed for adult males and generally runs true to its UK size 8. It's compatible with a variety of foot types due to its adaptable lacing system and spacious toe box. 3. Usage: Ideal for road running, light trail running, walking, and casual wear. ### Care and Maintenance 1. Cleaning Suede and Mesh: Gently brush off any loose dirt or debris using a soft-bristled brush (like a dedicated suede brush). For stubborn stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of specialized suede cleaner or a very mild soap solution, then blot the affected area. Avoid scrubbing vigorously. 2. Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as these can damage the materials and cause cracking or discoloration. 3. Storage: Store your 990v6 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's original shape and absorb moisture. 4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your New Balance 990v6 shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies.
