FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v4 suitable for running?
While the 990 series was originally designed for running, the 990v4 is now primarily considered a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. It offers good support and cushioning for everyday activities but may not meet the specific demands of modern high-performance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and width and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. Trying them on indoors is also crucial to ensure a comfortable fit without creasing the shoe.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash suede and mesh trainers. Hand washing with a soft brush and specialized cleaners is the preferred method to protect the materials and maintain the shoe's shape.
What is the typical break-in period for the 990v4?
The break-in period can vary, but many users find them comfortable after a few wears, typically within the first week of moderate use. Some may require a longer period depending on foot shape and usage.
Are these trainers true to size?
The 990v4 generally runs true to size for most individuals. However, due to variations in foot shape, it is always best to try them on or consult the detailed sizing guide provided by New Balance.
What is the primary material of the 990v4?
The 990v4 features a premium mix of materials including suede and mesh for the upper, with synthetic accents for structure and durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
The 990v4 often requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size; consult the sizing chart if unsure.
Suede material looks worn or stained
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore texture. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Laces fraying or becoming dirty
Replace laces as needed. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water, or machine wash them in a garment bag on a delicate cycle.
Reduced cushioning over time
While durable, the cushioning may lessen with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maintain material integrity. Consider using aftermarket insoles for enhanced comfort if needed.
