FAQs
What makes the 991v2 'Elevated Essentials' special?
The 'Elevated Essentials' take on the 991v2 focuses on a refined aesthetic and premium materials, using a classic suede, mesh, and synthetic upper in elegant grey and neutral earth tones for a sophisticated look.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
The 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, offering excellent comfort and support for everyday wear and walking. While durable, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities or specialized sports performance.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
New Balance trainers often run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. It is recommended to check New Balance's official size guide and measure your foot if unsure. Consider trying them on in-store if possible.
What is the difference between the 991 and 991v2 series?
The 991v2 represents an updated version of the classic 991, often featuring updated cushioning technology, refined materials, and slight aesthetic modifications while retaining the core DNA of the original.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the suede and mesh materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow.
What is the warranty period for New Balance shoes?
New Balance typically offers a standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty periods can vary by region and retailer; please check the official New Balance website or your point of purchase for details.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on arrival
Suede and mesh materials will naturally mold to your foot with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure you have chosen the correct UK size.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid using water on stubborn stains.
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or around the tongue area. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
