FAQs
How do I clean my New Balance 991v2 sneakers?
Due to the premium pigskin suede and mesh construction, we recommend using specialist cleaning products designed for these materials. Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush, and for more stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or intense workouts?
No, while the New Balance 991v2 offers premium foot support and advanced cushioning for all-day wear, it is designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For running or intense athletic activities, we recommend choosing performance-specific footwear.
What makes the 'v2' model different from previous 991 versions?
The most significant update in the 991v2 is the integration of a full-length FuelCell midsole, which works in tandem with ABZORB SBS pods and ENCAP technology. This provides enhanced, more responsive cushioning and improved overall comfort compared to earlier iterations of the 991 series.
Are New Balance 991v2 true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size for an optimal fit. If you are unsure, it is always best to consult a New Balance size guide or try them on.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The premium pigskin suede material is not water-resistant and can be damaged by heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture. We advise avoiding wet conditions to preserve the material's integrity and appearance. A water-repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection against light moisture.
Where are these sneakers manufactured?
The New Balance 991v2 is meticulously made in New Balance's factory in Flimby, United Kingdom, as part of their 'Made in UK' series, signifying a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or has minor scuffs.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently buff the affected area. A suede eraser can help remove minor scuffs or shiny spots.
Shoes feel less supportive or cushioned over time.
While the FuelCell and ABZORB SBS are durable, over extended periods of heavy use, cushioning can compress. Consider replacing the insoles with fresh, supportive inserts to revitalize the feel.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces if they have become worn or slick.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb moisture and odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Care
Due to the premium materials, especially pigskin suede, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your 991v2s:
- Cleaning: For pigskin suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, employ a suede cleaner following the product instructions. For the mesh sections, a mild soap solution and a soft cloth can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and textile materials. This can help repel water and stains, particularly important given that suede is not inherently water-resistant.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoidance: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the materials and structural integrity of the shoe.
