FAQs
Are the New Balance 990v4 trainers good for running?
While the 990 series originated as a running shoe, the 990v4 is now widely considered a lifestyle and comfort trainer. It offers good support for walking and daily activities but may not meet the specific demands of serious, high-mileage running compared to modern performance running shoes.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. Generally, UK sizing runs differently than US sizing. The provided information specifies UK size 13 for this listing.
What is the difference between 990v4 and other 990 versions?
Each version (v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6) represents an evolution in design and technology. The v4, introduced in 2016, refined the v3's silhouette with updated materials and construction for enhanced comfort and a modern aesthetic.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The suede and mesh materials are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the materials. Consider a protective spray for added water resistance.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?
'Made in USA' indicates that at least 70% of the shoe's value is manufactured and assembled in the United States, reflecting New Balance's commitment to quality craftsmanship and domestic production.
How should I store my 990v4 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a dust bag protects them from dust and damage.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser, applying gentle pressure.
Shoe feels too tight after initial wear.
Give the shoes time to break in, as the materials will mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Laces are showing wear.
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the shoe.
Discoloration on the upper.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth. For color transfer from socks, ensure socks are colorfast. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear, the UK size 13 offers a specific fit. The unisex design makes them compatible with various personal styles.
Care: To maintain the premium look and longevity of your New Balance 990v4 trainers:
