The New Balance 990v6, with its FuelCell midsole, is engineered to provide a remarkably comfortable experience, making it excellent for daily wear, long walks, and casual outings. The FuelCell technology ensures each step is cushioned and responsive, reducing fatigue over extended periods. While the original 990 series aimed for the "perfect running shoe," the v6 excels as a premium lifestyle sneaker that offers exceptional comfort for non-performance-specific activities.
The blend of suede and mesh in the upper offers a balance of durability, style, and breathability. The suede provides a premium look and structure, while the mesh underlays allow for some airflow. This combination makes the shoe suitable for cooler to mild temperatures. The shoe's robust construction means it can withstand regular urban use, and its timeless black and grey aesthetic makes it a versatile choice for various casual and smart-casual ensembles. Users can expect reliable traction from the durable outsole, providing stability on city streets and paved paths.
Using your New Balance 990v6 is straightforward. Simply untie the laces, slide your foot in, and secure the laces to your preferred comfort level. Ensure you wear appropriate socks for optimal fit and moisture management.
These shoes are designed for adults and are compatible with various casual and athletic apparel. They fit true to size for UK 15. For best comfort, pair with athletic or cushioned socks.
Regular cleaning and proper care are crucial due to the suede material.
Spot Cleaning Suede: Use a soft-bristled brush or a suede eraser to gently remove surface dirt and scuffs. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Deep Cleaning Suede: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply sparingly and blot, do not rub aggressively.
Mesh Cleaning: For mesh areas, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the affected areas.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and prevent creasing. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
