FAQs
What makes the 991v2 'Made in UK' special?
The 'Made in UK' designation signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, reflecting a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and heritage production.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and consider your usual shoe size. The UK 12.5 size is specified for this particular product variant.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are best suited for dry conditions. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. Using a suede protector spray can help mitigate water damage.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
The 991v2 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer, offering comfort and support for daily activities rather than high-impact sports.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
Regular brushing after wear can help maintain the suede's appearance. Deeper cleaning should be performed as needed, based on visible dirt or stains.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed using a combination of premium pig suede, mesh, and synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following product instructions.
Laces become worn
Replace laces with a similar style or color. New Balance offers replacement laces.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear.
