FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers true to size?

Where are these shoes manufactured?
This model is part of the Made in UK line, produced at the New Balance factory in Flimby, England.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they use high-performance FuelCell foam, they are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for walking and daily wear rather than dedicated long-distance athletic performance.
How do I protect the suede?
It is recommended to use a high-quality, non-silicone suede protector spray before wearing the shoes for the first time.
Is the 991v2 different from the original 991?
Yes, the v2 features an updated, slimmer upper and the addition of full-length FuelCell cushioning for improved responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush and move in a single direction to lift the nap and remove dust.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape of the leather and suede upper.
Loss of bounce over time
Ensure the shoe is fully dry after use; moisture trapped in the foam can temporarily compress the cushioning properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 991v2 trainers last, proper care is essential, particularly because of the suede upper. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud, as moisture can cause the suede to bleed color or become matted. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, rely on professional-grade suede cleaners rather than submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, which will ruin the structure and materials. For compatibility, the neutral grey and white colorway is highly versatile and pairs naturally with denim, chinos, or technical joggers.
