FAQs
What makes the 'Miuk' designation special?
'Miuk' refers to 'Made in UK,' indicating that these trainers are manufactured at New Balance's Flimby factory in England, a mark of premium craftsmanship.
How does the ENCAP midsole cushioning work?
ENCAP technology combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim. This construction provides a supportive and cushioned feel for all-day wear.
Is the ABZORB SBS heel cushioning suitable for running?
While ABZORB SBS provides excellent stability and comfort, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, not specialized running footwear. It's best suited for walking and everyday activities.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the durable materials and UK construction suggest a long lifespan for daily use.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the suede and mesh offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and consider using a suede protector spray.
What are the primary differences between the 991v2 and older 991 models?
The 991v2 often features updated cushioning technologies (like ABZORB SBS) and subtle design refinements to the classic silhouette, offering enhanced comfort and a modern aesthetic while retaining the core DNA of the original.
Troubleshooting
Suede losing its texture
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Laces becoming worn
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
Insoles feeling less supportive over time
