FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 990v4 generally fits true to standard UK sizing, but if you have wider feet, you may find the silhouette fits snugly.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The suede material can absorb water and become stained; stick to dry conditions or use a water-repellent spray.
How do I clean the rubber midsole?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to wipe away scuffs and dirt from the rubber portions of the shoe.
Is this a running shoe or a lifestyle shoe?
While originally designed as a high-performance running shoe, the 990v4 is now primarily celebrated as a premium lifestyle trainer.
What does ENCAP mean?
ENCAP refers to the midsole technology that encapsulates a soft EVA core within a firmer polyurethane rim for extra durability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Use a soft-bristled suede brush or a dedicated suede eraser to gently lift stains.
Creasing at the forefoot
This is normal for leather/suede materials; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 990v4 trainers, keep them clean by gently brushing the suede with a specialized brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede and affect the adhesive bonds. If they get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal comfort, ensure your UK size 4.5 fits securely with enough room in the toe box for natural movement, and consider using a suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against minor spills and dust.
