New Balance 990v4 Trainers - Green/Beige - UK 9.5

While the original 990 was designed as a running shoe, the 990v4 is primarily considered a premium lifestyle trainer. It offers excellent comfort and support for walking and everyday activities, but it is not optimized for high-impact or competitive running.

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, using your UK adult foot size as a primary reference. These trainers are unisex, so consider the general fit for men and women.

Each version (v1, v2, v3, v4, etc.) represents an evolution of the design, with updates to materials, cushioning technology, and silhouette. The v4 is a refinement of the v3, offering a modernized look while retaining core comfort and quality.

The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While the trainers can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as it can stain the suede and affect the shoe's material integrity.

Clean your trainers as needed, particularly after wearing them in dusty or potentially staining environments. Regular brushing of the suede can help maintain its appearance between deeper cleanings.

The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is of domestic origin. It represents New Balance's commitment to quality manufacturing and heritage.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try lacing the shoes slightly differently or ensure all parts are dry. If persistent, consult care instructions for potential cleaning.

This is more common with darker suede colors when wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing and avoid contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces if damp.

The midsole cushioning is designed for durability but will naturally compress with extended use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing shoes that have seen heavy wear for several years.
