FAQs

Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers suitable for running?

The 991v2 is primarily a lifestyle trainer designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. It is not optimized for high-impact running and lacks the specialized support features of dedicated running shoes.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

What does 'Made in the UK' signify for these trainers?

It signifies that these trainers were manufactured at New Balance's Flimby factory in the UK, indicating a high standard of craftsmanship and premium materials.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, suede is susceptible to water damage. It is recommended to use a water repellent spray and avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB SBS cushioning?

ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel provides enhanced stability and superior comfort by absorbing impact effectively, reducing foot fatigue during prolonged wear.

How do the sizing options work for this model?

These trainers are available in UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.

Are these trainers unisex?

While this specific product listing is for men, the 991 series often features unisex appeal and is available in various colorways that can suit different genders. Always check the specific product details.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Laces are worn or discolored

Replace laces with new ones of a similar color and length. Many retailers offer replacement laces suitable for trainers.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the ENCAP and ABZORB cushioning is durable, it may feel less responsive after extensive use. Ensure proper care to maintain the materials' integrity.

Creasing on the suede

Creasing is natural with suede and wear. Regular brushing can help minimize the appearance of superficial creases.

Care:
