FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 990v4 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and offer good support for walking and daily activities. They are not optimized for high-impact running or intense athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
It's recommended to consult the New Balance sizing guide. Many users find that the 990 series can run slightly large, so measuring your foot accurately or trying them on is advisable.
What is the main benefit of the 'Made in USA' tag?
The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is of domestic origin, reflecting a commitment to premium materials and manufacturing standards.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure and adhesives.
What is the difference between the 990v4 and other versions?
Each version (v3, v4, v5, etc.) features incremental updates in design, materials, and technology for improved comfort, support, and aesthetics. The v4 is known for its specific blend of classic design and cushioning.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
Regular brushing after wear helps maintain the suede's appearance. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed when stains appear or the material looks dull.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly large
Consider trying a half-size down or wearing thicker socks. Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for precise measurements.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning can diminish with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing the insoles with new ones designed for athletic shoes.
Color transfer from suede
This can occasionally happen with new suede. Ensure the shoes are properly treated with a suede protector. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions until they are adequately protected.
