FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
The New Balance 991v2 trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes. While they offer comfort and support for everyday activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it to the New Balance size chart available on their official website. Reviews often provide insights into whether the shoe runs true to size, small, or large.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning of the trainers.
What is the main difference between the 991v2 and other New Balance series?
The 991v2 typically features a refined aesthetic, premium materials, and specific cushioning technologies that differentiate it from other series, often focusing on a balance between classic style and modern comfort.
Does the 'Made in UK' label guarantee a specific fit?
The 'Made in UK' designation refers to the quality of manufacturing and materials used. While these shoes are crafted to high standards, fit is primarily determined by the specific model's design and individual foot shape.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to maintain the shoe's interior, it's best to wear athletic or casual socks made from breathable materials like cotton or moisture-wicking blends.
How long is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer's website for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you have measured your feet accurately according to New Balance's sizing guide. Consider trying them on at a physical store if possible, or consult customer reviews for fit feedback. Different materials can slightly affect fit over time.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a cloth, blot gently, and allow to dry fully before brushing again.
Mesh feels less breathable over time
Ensure the mesh areas are clean. Gentle brushing can help dislodge any particles that might be obstructing airflow. Avoid over-saturation during cleaning.
Sole feels less cushioned
While designed for comfort, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoe is clean and dry, as moisture can affect the material's properties. For significant loss of cushioning, replacement may be considered after extended wear.
