FAQs
What is the main difference between the 991v2 and the original 991?
The 991v2 features a full-length FuelCell midsole for enhanced cushioning and a more streamlined silhouette, updating the classic design with modern technology.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker with performance-inspired technology. For dedicated running, a specialized New Balance running shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Gently brush suede with a suede brush. Wipe mesh and synthetic parts with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
It indicates that the shoe has been manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, typically associated with premium craftsmanship and materials.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, New Balance 'Made in UK' models fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.
What are ABZORB SBS pods?
ABZORB SBS pods are components in the midsole that provide enhanced shock absorption in specific areas, contributing to overall comfort and stability.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The suede material is not ideal for heavy rain. While the outsole provides grip, prolonged exposure to wet conditions may damage the suede and other materials. It's best to wear them in dry or mildly damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Uneven comfort or fit
Ensure laces are tied correctly, providing balanced tension. Try different sock thicknesses. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
Suede material appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Sole feels stiff initially
This is normal for new shoes with advanced cushioning systems. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the midsole to break in and become more flexible.
