FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 990v4 generally fits true to size, but those who prefer a wider fit or wear thicker socks may consider trying their usual size in a wider width if available.
How do I clean the mesh portion of the shoe?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water, gently dabbing the area. Do not machine wash.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While originally designed as running shoes, modern performance technology has evolved. These are best suited for walking, lifestyle use, and light gym activity.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?
It indicates that the shoe has a domestic value of 70% or more, representing the high manufacturing standards and heritage of New Balance facilities in the United States.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
How can I prevent the colors from fading?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use and avoid leaving them in hot environments like cars, which can accelerate material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush or a clean, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the nap in one direction to restore the texture.
Stains on suede
Use a dedicated suede eraser or a light application of a specialized suede cleaner; avoid using harsh soaps or water.
Midsole feels slightly stiff initially
The ENCAP technology requires a short break-in period; wear the shoes for shorter intervals over several days to allow the cushioning to contour to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup for these trainers; simply adjust the laces for your preferred tension upon initial wear. For care, avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the suede texture. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede cleaner for spot treatments. To maintain shape, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the orange and yellow pigments to fade over time. Using a water-repellent spray designed for suede can provide an extra layer of protection against light moisture.
