FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v4 trainers good for running?
While the 990v4 was originally designed with running in mind and offers excellent cushioning, it is now considered more of a lifestyle or 'dad shoe' trainer due to its heritage. For dedicated, high-performance running, newer models specifically designed for that purpose might be more suitable.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. If purchasing online, consult the New Balance size chart and measure your foot. Many users find they fit true to size, but personal preference for width and fit can vary.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The suede material is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. While the rubber outsole offers some protection, it's best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.
What is the difference between the 990v4 and other 990 versions?
Each version (v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, etc.) represents an evolution in design and technology. The v4 is known for its classic silhouette, comfort, and specific blend of materials and cushioning from its era, differing in upper design, midsole technology, and overall aesthetic from other versions.
How should I clean the green suede?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Allow the suede to air dry naturally away from heat.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 990 series is often available in multiple widths. While this specific product description does not detail width options, New Balance generally offers various fits. Check product details or consult a retailer for available width options.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
The trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Suede appearance dulls or stains
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove light dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser as per product instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray.
Laces fray or break
Replace with new New Balance laces or standard shoelaces of similar length and material. Ensure laces are not tied excessively tight to prevent premature wear.
