For suede, it's best to use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on a small, inconspicuous area first and avoid harsh scrubbing.

While primarily designed for running and walking, the 990v6 can be suitable for light gym activities or general fitness. However, for specialized sports like basketball or cross-training, shoes designed specifically for those activities may offer better support and performance.

The lifespan of running shoes depends on factors like mileage, running style, and foot strike. A general guideline is to consider replacement every 300-500 miles, or approximately every 6-12 months for regular runners. Pay attention to signs of wear like reduced cushioning or worn outsoles.

Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing patterns to relieve pressure points or provide a more secure fit. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks for your activity.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. Reinsert the insole and check if the sound persists. If not the insole, it might be the outsole on a specific surface, or a material friction point within the shoe.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following the product's instructions, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid using water directly on suede unless specified by a suede-specific cleaner.

Ensure your shoes are properly laced and that your socks are suitable for the activity. Consider if the shoe size or width is correct for your foot. A short break-in period may also help the materials conform to your foot.

Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or debris lodged in the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to remove any embedded dirt. If the tread is significantly worn, the shoe may be nearing the end of its useful life for optimal performance.
