FAQs
What makes the 'Made in UK' designation significant?
The 'Made in UK' label signifies that the shoes are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, renowned for its high standards of craftsmanship and quality materials.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the New Balance size chart for UK adult footwear. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snug or loose) and the width of your foot.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the shoes are durable, suede is best kept dry. They are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, and to treat them with a protective spray.
What is the primary difference between the 991v2 and older 991 models?
The 991v2 often features updated cushioning technology (like ENCAP midsole technology) and subtle design refinements compared to earlier versions, while maintaining the core aesthetic.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
The 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, offering excellent comfort for daily wear. While suitable for walking and general activity, they are not specialized for high-impact athletic performance.
How should I store my New Balance 991v2 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored after cleaning
Allow the suede to dry completely. Use a suede brush to restore the nap and color. If the discoloration persists, a suede eraser or color restorer might be needed.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Try double-knotting the laces. Ensure the laces are not overly worn or slippery; consider replacing them with a different material if the issue continues.
General discomfort after first wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width.
