FAQs

Are New Balance 991s true to size?

Generally, New Balance 991s are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the suede and mesh offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the materials, especially the suede. It's recommended to use a protective spray for water resistance and avoid very wet conditions.

What is the best way to clean the grey suede?

For grey suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner followed by brushing will help. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.

Are these suitable for running or sports activities?

The New Balance 991 is designed for superior comfort and durability in everyday wear and casual activities. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or running performance.

How do I maintain the color of the grey suede?

To maintain the rich grey color, avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure which can cause fading. Regular cleaning with appropriate suede products and applying a UV-protective spray can also help preserve the color.

What does 'Made in UK' signify for these sneakers?

'Made in UK' indicates that these New Balance 991s are manufactured in the brand's UK factories, known for their commitment to high-quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or has scuff marks

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture and appearance. For scuff marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If fit is generally good but slightly snug, wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. Loosen laces slightly. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a foot specialist.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes

Remove the insoles after wearing and allow the shoes to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your New Balance 991s is as simple as lacing them up! Ensure you select the correct UK size 4 for a snug yet comfortable fit.

Care Instructions

To ensure your New Balance 991s maintain their premium look and extend their lifespan, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on the `suede` and mesh, use a soft brush or a clean, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently dab the stained area. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap after cleaning and drying.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, particularly on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede and fabric protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your New Balance 991s, as this can damage the materials and construction.
