FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 990 series originated as a running shoe, the v4 is often considered more of a lifestyle trainer due to its modern refinements and premium materials. They offer excellent comfort for walking and daily wear.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to the product description and the 'size_adult_foot_uk' attribute for the specific size. It is recommended to compare with your usual shoe size, as fit can vary.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

The trainers feature a premium mix of suede and mesh, with synthetic accents for durability and style.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the suede.

How often should I clean my 990v4 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage. Regular brushing of the suede can help maintain their appearance between deeper cleans.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

This designation indicates that at least 70% of the manufacturing costs for this shoe are incurred in the USA, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality domestic production.

Are there other color options available for the 990v4?

The 990v4 has been released in various colorways over time. This specific guide focuses on the Green/Beige variant.

Troubleshooting

Slight color variations from images

Color may vary slightly due to the natural variations in suede and lighting conditions during photography.

Initial stiffness

The shoes may feel stiff initially due to the premium materials. Wear them for short periods to break them in gradually.

Refer to specific suede cleaning product instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. Professional cleaning may be an option for severe stains.
