FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 990 typically fits true to your standard athletic shoe size, though personal preference for width may vary.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe; stick to gentle hand cleaning methods.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While highly supportive, the 990 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and daily wear rather than technical distance running.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective suede spray to provide a layer of water resistance.
What does the 990 series indicate?
The 990 series represents New Balance's flagship line of premium trainers, known for high-quality materials and superior comfort.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized dry suede brush to gently lift dirt particles without damaging the nap of the material.
Creasing in the toe box area
This is a natural occurrence with high-quality materials; using shoe trees when not wearing the trainers can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are primarily constructed with suede, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the suede texture. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. Compatibility is straightforward as these are standard fit unisex trainers; however, it is recommended to confirm your size against the New Balance UK sizing chart before purchase to ensure the best possible fit.
