FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance MiUK 991v2 Sneaker features cushioning designed for comfort and support during everyday activities and walking. They are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided UK sizing guide.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning components. Hand wash and air dry methods should be used.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's or New Balance's official warranty policy for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage for this product.

How does the 991v2 differ from previous 991 models?

The 991v2 represents an evolution of the classic silhouette, incorporating updated cushioning technologies like ABZORB SBS in the heel for enhanced stability and comfort, alongside design refinements.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are constructed with suede, mesh, and synthetic materials and are not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Water-repellent sprays can offer some protection.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush in multiple directions to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used sparingly.

Laces become worn or dirty

Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried. Replacement laces are also available from New Balance or third-party retailers.

Inconsistent fit after initial wear

Allow the shoes a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure laces are tied correctly to achieve optimal support without overtightening.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While the ENCAP and ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability, its effectiveness may diminish with extensive use. Proper care and avoiding excessive impact can help prolong its performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the New Balance MiUK 991v2 requires no setup. Simply lace them up and wear.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult wear and are compatible with casual and athleisure outfits. They pair well with jeans, joggers, shorts, and other relaxed attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede.
  2. Mesh & Synthetics: A damp cloth can be used to wipe down the mesh and synthetic panels. For more thorough cleaning, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be applied gently.
  3. Midsole & Outsole: These can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Avoid direct heat or prolonged exposure to sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape while drying.
  5. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains.
