The 990v7 continues the Teddy Santis-led creative direction, focusing on premium pigskin suedes and mesh. For those in Switzerland, the draw isn't just the style; it is the accessibility of specific width sizing—narrow, standard, wide, and extra-wide—that rarely makes it to European shelves in full stock. To get these to your door, using a parcel forwarding service is the most efficient route.

The Math Behind Buying from US Stores

Does it actually make sense to buy from the US when you live in Switzerland? Early 2026 data shows that the US retail price for the 990v7 sits significantly lower than the projected Swiss and UK retail prices once they eventually arrive. By using a tax-free US address in Oregon provided by comGateway, you eliminate US sales tax entirely, making the price gap even wider.

When you shop US ship international, you also gain access to the full 'Made in USA' Core Collection colors—classic grey, navy, and black—which often sell out instantly or are marked up by resellers in the Swiss market.

Logistics Breakdown: Shipping to Switzerland

Before you hit the checkout button, it is essential to understand the physical profile of your shipment. This helps you estimate shipping cost accurately before the box arrives at the warehouse.

Solving the Declined Credit Card Headache

Have you ever reached the final stage of a US checkout only to have your Swiss credit card declined? Many US-based retailers, including the official New Balance site and major boutiques like Kith or Bodega, often block international billing addresses or flag orders sent to a freight forwarder. This is where the BuyForMe service becomes your best friend.

Instead of battling with payment gateways, you simply tell comGateway what you want. They use a US-based payment method to purchase the 990v7 on your behalf. This assisted purchase ensures your order is processed as a domestic US transaction, drastically reducing the chance of a cancellation. It is the most reliable way to guarantee your 'Made in USA' pair is secured during high-demand drops.

Navigating Swiss Customs and Import Fees

Shipping to Switzerland requires a basic understanding of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG) regulations. As of 2026, Switzerland applies Value Added Tax (VAT), known locally as MWST, on imported goods. While the price in the US is lower, remember to factor in the Swiss VAT (currently 8.1%) and potential administrative fees handled by the carrier.

To keep your international shipping rates manageable, consider consolidating your sneakers with other US purchases. comGateway allows you to store items for up to 30 days, meaning you can wait for that matching Made in USA hoodie to arrive before shipping everything to Zurich in one go.

How to Get Your Pair via comGateway

Ready to lace up? Start by signing up for a comGateway account to receive your personal U.S. shipping address. When you shop at your favorite American retailers, use this address at checkout. Once your 990v7s arrive at the warehouse, you can check the weight, select your preferred speed, and view the international shipping fees.

If the store feels particularly difficult about your Swiss credit card, don't forget the proxy shopping option. It removes the stress of the hunt, leaving you with nothing to do but wait for the courier to arrive at your door in Switzerland. With the 990v7 being the pinnacle of comfort for 2026, your feet will certainly thank you for the extra effort.
