For suede, use a suede brush and specialized cleaners. For mesh, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

Yes, the New Balance 990v4 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for both men and women.
What is the main benefit of the Fuel Cell technology?
Fuel Cell technology provides enhanced cushioning and a responsive feel, promoting dynamic movement and reducing foot fatigue during extended wear.
How do the reflective details work?
The reflective details are designed to catch light and reflect it back, increasing visibility in low-light conditions for safety.
What is the return policy for these trainers?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific terms and conditions of the vendor from whom you purchased the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is slightly snug.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions carefully. Allow to dry naturally.
Reduced cushioning or springiness over time
This may indicate wear of the Fuel Cell foam. While durable, performance can decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not using them for activities beyond their intended purpose.
Reflective details are losing their reflectivity
Reflectivity can diminish with wear and tear or improper cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on these areas.
