FAQs
What does 'Made in UK' signify for these trainers?
'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, representing a commitment to premium craftsmanship and quality materials.
How do I clean the burnt orange suede?
Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on a small area first, and allow to air dry. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable and well-cushioned, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific running shoe models with enhanced performance features.
What is the 'Vintage Sports' inspiration?
The 'Vintage Sports' theme draws inspiration from refined relaxation on the tennis court, reflected in the color palette, particularly the burnt orange hue reminiscent of clay courts.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can lead to staining and damage to the material. A suede protectant spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede, breathable mesh, and synthetic materials for a blend of style, comfort, and durability.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. Trying them on or consulting a size guide is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear them with medium-weight socks for a few hours. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. If they remain uncomfortable, consider professional stretching services.
Color transfer from suede
This can happen with new suede, especially if wet. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider applying a suede protectant spray as recommended for the material.
Mesh areas are dirty
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
