The New Balance 990v6 excels as a premium lifestyle sneaker, specifically designed for daily wear where comfort and enduring style are paramount. The integrated ENCAP midsole provides a stable yet cushioned foundation, ideal for supporting your feet through prolonged periods of standing or walking.

The "sticky grip" outsole ensures reliable traction on various urban surfaces, from sidewalks to park paths.

Its robust construction and quality materials ensure it can withstand regular use while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied securely but not overly tight. This allows for natural foot movement and proper circulation.
Fit: The shoe should feel snug yet comfortable, without any restrictive pressure points. Aim for about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Walk around briefly to confirm comfort.
The New Balance 990v6 is primarily designed for general lifestyle wear. Its classic aesthetic pairs well with a broad range of casual and athleisure apparel, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
Cleaning Suede:
For dry dirt and scuffs, gently use a soft brush or a dedicated suede eraser.
For tougher stains, sparingly apply a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth.
Always allow the suede to air dry completely, away from direct heat sources.
Once dry, gently brush the suede's nap to restore its original texture.
Cleaning Mesh:
Create a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of gentle soap.
Using a soft brush or clean cloth, gently scrub the mesh areas.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Allow the shoes to air dry thoroughly.
General Care:
Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
To help maintain the shoe's shape, stuff them with paper towels or use shoe trees when not in use.
Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray, specifically formulated for suede and textile footwear, before initial wear and periodically thereafter.
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation.
