FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for comfort and style, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart online, or measure your foot length and compare it with the provided size guide. Ensure a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede and leather components. Hand washing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that the product has been manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, adhering to high standards of craftsmanship and quality.

How should I store the trainers when not in use?

Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or humid environments.

What is the difference between FuelCell and ABZORB SBS?

FuelCell is a nitrogen-infused foam providing responsive cushioning and energy return, while ABZORB SBS pods are specifically engineered for enhanced shock absorption at the heel.

Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration or staining

Immediately blot any liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth. For stains, use a specialized suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Prevent exposure to harsh weather conditions.

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Reduced cushioning over time

While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally degrade with extensive use. For persistent issues, consider shoe inserts for added support or explore professional shoe restoration services.

Care:
