FAQs

Are the New Balance 990v4 trainers suitable for running?

While the 990v4 originated from a running shoe design, its current iteration is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities rather than intense or long-distance running due to modern performance running shoe advancements.

How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is domestically sourced and manufactured, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality craftsmanship and domestic production.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the 990v4 trainers are designed as unisex footwear and are suitable for adults of all genders.

What is the primary difference between the v3 and v4 models?

The v4 is a refinement of the v3, featuring modernization of the silhouette for a sleeker appearance and updated comfort technologies while retaining the core design principles and quality of its predecessors.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, the 990v4 is considered to run true to size for most individuals. However, some users find they run slightly large, so trying them on or consulting detailed sizing guides is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Slightly loose fit

Utilize the lacing system to tighten the fit. If the looseness is significant, consider using insoles or a half-size down if available.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure correct sizing. If the issue persists, consider adding supportive insoles for enhanced cushioning and arch support.
