FAQs

What is the primary material of the New Balance 991v2 upper?

The upper features a combination of updated pigskin suede, mesh, and synthetic materials for durability, breathability, and a premium feel.

What does 'Made in UK' signify for this shoe?

The 'Made in UK' designation indicates that the shoe is crafted in New Balance's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom, representing exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail in its production.

How does FuelCell cushioning benefit me?

Full-length FuelCell cushioning provides a highly responsive and energetic feel, delivering superior comfort and a springy rebound that helps make all-day wear more enjoyable and supportive.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While the 991v2 has a strong running heritage and advanced cushioning technologies like FuelCell, ABZORB SBS, and ENCAP, it is primarily designed for all-day comfort and style. For dedicated high-performance running, specialized running shoes optimized for intense activity might be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size?

The shoe is listed in UK adult foot sizing. It is highly recommended to try on both shoes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, leaving adequate space for your toes. If unsure, consulting a New Balance size guide or trying them on at a retailer is advised.

What is the difference between the original New Balance 991 and the 991v2?

The 991v2 is an updated version of the original 991. Key differences include a refined, sleeker profile and significant cushioning upgrades, such as the introduction of full-length FuelCell cushioning alongside the signature ABZORB SBS pods and ENCAP technology for enhanced comfort and performance.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions for suede and mixed materials.

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. Adjust the lacing for a more customized fit. Consider trying them on with different sock thicknesses or during different times of the day.

Unpleasant odor develops

Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight to absorb odors.

  1. Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (e.g., UK 7.5 for this variant). Always try on both shoes to confirm fit, considering space for socks.

Care

To maintain the quality and appearance of your 991v2:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner, applying sparingly with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning Mesh & Synthetic: Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage materials.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers. Do not machine wash or put in a dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and mixed materials to help protect against elements.
