FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 990v4 typically fits true to size, though the structure is known for a stable, secure feel. We recommend ordering your standard UK size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge suede trainers in water or use a washing machine. This will damage the material and compromise the structural adhesives.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While originally designed as a high-performance running shoe, modern athletic footwear technology has advanced significantly; the 990v4 is now considered best for lifestyle and casual fitness use.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
This model is proudly crafted in the USA, adhering to high standards of footwear manufacturing.
How do I protect the suede from stains?
We recommend using a reputable water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede leather before your first wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to lift surface debris in a single direction.
Creasing in the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe retain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Water spots on suede
Allow to dry naturally, then brush gently with a suede brush to restore the nap of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 990v4 is crafted from premium suede, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can permanently damage the suede texture. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each use. For deeper stains, employ a suede-specific cleaning kit and always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the original structure.
