FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than for high-impact athletic activities like running. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific running shoe models.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart available on their official website or on the retailer's product page. Compare your foot measurement to the provided chart for the most accurate sizing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While suitable for light, dry conditions, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What does 'Made in England' signify?
'Made in England' signifies that the product has been manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, adhering to the brand's high standards for quality and craftsmanship.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
Regular brushing with a suede brush after wear helps maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done as needed when visible dirt or stains appear, using appropriate suede cleaning products.
Is the grey colour true to the images?
The 'Dark Gull Grey' and 'Cork' colourway aims to be accurately represented. However, slight variations may occur due to individual monitor settings and lighting conditions during photography.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces, or ensure all laces are tied uniformly. If persistent, check for any loose components, though this is rare with 'Made in England' products.
Discomfort after initial wear
New balance trainers, especially those with premium materials, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is not too tight or too loose.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner. Applying a suede protector spray after cleaning can help prevent future stains.
