FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v4 suitable for running?
While the 990 series originated as a running shoe, the 990v4 is now more commonly worn for lifestyle and walking due to its updated design and premium materials. For serious running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the green suede on these trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, gently working on the stain. Let the shoes air dry completely and brush again.
What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?
The 'Made in USA' label indicates that a significant portion of the manufacturing cost is attributed to domestic production, often signifying higher quality materials and craftsmanship.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials. Consider using a suede protector spray for mild water resistance.
What is the primary benefit of the ENCAP midsole?
The ENCAP midsole technology combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim, providing all-day cushioning and support while enhancing durability.
How does the 990v4 differ from previous versions?
The 990v4 represents a modernization of the silhouette, refining the design from the v3 with updated materials and construction for improved comfort and aesthetics while retaining the core quality.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry naturally.
Laces feel stiff or worn
Replace laces with new ones of similar material and length. Many retailers offer replacement laces.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ENCAP midsole is durable, significant wear may reduce cushioning. For extensive use, consider replacement within 1-2 years depending on activity level.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is consistently an issue, consider trying a half-size up or down if available, or consult the brand's sizing guide.
