FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 990v4 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede, glue, and structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods only.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a premium combination of high-quality suede overlays and breathable mesh base layers.
Do the reflective details work in low light?
Yes, the sidewall branding is designed to be reflective, which aids in visibility during low-light conditions.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and leather before wearing them in inclement weather.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or an eraser to gently lift the dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence in premium leather and suede; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Loss of cushioning support
Check the interior lining for wear; consider replacing the original insoles with high-quality orthotic inserts if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature delicate suede, it is essential to treat them with a water and stain repellent spray before the first use. To maintain the shoes, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the suede panels. If the mesh becomes soiled, a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth can be used for spot cleaning. Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather or suede to stiffen and crack.
