FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance 991v2 trainers generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider the structure of the padding for a comfortable fit.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature advanced cushioning, these are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees helps keep the shape.
Is the sole removable?
The internal sockliner is typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Why is 'Made in UK' significant?
It denotes that the shoes were manufactured at the Flimby factory in the UK, adhering to traditional craftsmanship standards and high-quality material selection.
Are these suitable for all weather?
Due to the suede construction, they are best suited for dry or mild conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry, soft brush to gently lift the nap of the suede and remove loose particulates.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structural integrity and shape of the leather.
Loss of cushion response over time
Ensure the shoe is not consistently exposed to extreme heat and swap with a different pair of shoes occasionally to allow the foam compression to rebound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your 991v2s for the first time, it is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede-specific water and stain repellent spray. This will significantly extend the life of the upper and keep the green and grey tones looking fresh. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing, as the suede material can be permanently damaged by water saturation and detergent. If the sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the material to stiffen or fade.
