FAQs

Are the New Balance 990v4 trainers suitable for running?

While the 990 series originated as a running shoe, the v4 is primarily considered a lifestyle and comfort trainer today. It offers good support, but dedicated modern running shoes may provide more advanced performance features.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For suede, use a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner and brush. Avoid soaking the shoes.

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

The 'Made in USA' designation indicates that at least 70% of the value of the shoe is of U.S. origin, signifying a commitment to domestic manufacturing and quality craftsmanship.

What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and a shoe bag can protect them from dust.

Are these trainers available in other colors or sizes?

The New Balance 990v4 has been released in various colorways and sizes over time. Please check the product listings for current availability.

What is the intended fit of the 990v4?

The 990v4 is known for its comfortable, supportive fit, often described as true to size. They offer a moderate width suitable for most adult feet.

Troubleshooting

Suede losing its texture

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on a small area first.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow a break-in period, as the shoes are designed for support and may feel firm initially. Ensure correct sizing and consider using appropriate socks.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with standard shoelaces. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any compatible trainer laces can be used.

Color transfer from suede

This can occur with new suede. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks. A suede protector spray can help minimize transfer.
