Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 991 v2 trainers maintain their appearance, regular care is essential. Since many models utilize suede and premium fabrics, avoid excessive exposure to water or mud. For light cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the original shape of the upper.
