FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 suitable for running?
While the 991v2 offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday comfort and style rather than for high-performance running.
How do I ensure I get the right UK size?
Refer to the size guide provided by New Balance, or try on shoes in-store if possible. The product description lists the UK size for this specific variant.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning components. Hand wash or spot clean according to the care instructions.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that the product has been manufactured in New Balance's factory in the UK, indicating a commitment to quality craftsmanship and heritage.
How do the FuelCell and ABZORB SBS technologies work together?
FuelCell provides responsive cushioning for a propulsive feel, while ABZORB SBS pods in the heel offer superior shock absorption, working in conjunction to deliver enhanced comfort and support.
Is the suede waterproof?
The suede is not inherently waterproof. For protection against water and stains, it is recommended to apply a suitable suede protector spray.
What is the 'Elevated Essentials' pack?
The 'Elevated Essentials' pack typically features classic New Balance models updated with premium materials and refined colourways, focusing on timeless style and quality.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Midsole has scuff marks
Gently clean the midsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly stiff on first wear
This is normal for new suede shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The cushioning will also adapt to your foot shape over time.
Discoloration on suede from moisture
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and restore the colour and texture. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water marks.
