FAQs

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is from U.S.-made components and labor, reflecting a commitment to domestic manufacturing quality.

How do the 990v4 compare to previous versions?

The 990v4, introduced in 2016, refined the v3 with updated cushioning, a sleeker profile, and enhanced stability, building on the legacy of the original 1982 design.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 990 series was originally designed for running and offers excellent support, the 990v4 is now widely considered a premium lifestyle shoe. For dedicated high-performance running, newer specialized running models may be more appropriate.

How should I clean the green suede material?

Use a dry suede brush for regular maintenance. For stains, apply a small amount of a dedicated suede cleaner with a cloth, then brush to restore the texture. Avoid excessive water.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official New Balance website or contact customer service for specific warranty details for your purchase.

Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?

Yes, the insole of the 990v4 is generally removable, allowing space for most standard orthotics or custom insoles.

What size should I order if I'm unsure?

It's recommended to try them on in-store if possible. If not, consult New Balance's sizing chart and consider your usual shoe size. The 990v4 generally runs true to size for most people.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialist suede cleaning product and follow instructions carefully.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and color. Clean existing laces with mild soap and water.

Trainer feels slightly stiff initially.

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. The ENCAP midsole will soften with use.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your New Balance 990v4 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause discoloration or damage.
  2. Cleaning Mesh and Accents: A damp cloth with mild soap can be used for the mesh panels and synthetic accents. Wipe clean and allow to air dry naturally.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
