FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
The New Balance 991V2 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering exceptional comfort and support for daily activities and walking. While they provide excellent cushioning, they are not specifically engineered as high-performance running shoes.
How do I clean the pig suede parts of the shoe?
For pig suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner with a soft cloth or brush, following the product's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is ENCAP and ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ENCAP is a New Balance midsole technology combining a soft EVA core with a tough polyurethane rim for lightweight support and durability. ABZORB SBS is an advanced cushioning system, often found in the heel, that uses a non-cellular foam to absorb impact through compression, providing enhanced stability and comfort.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these sneakers are not waterproof. The pig suede and mesh upper can absorb water. It is recommended to treat them with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for these materials to offer some protection against light moisture.
Where are these New Balance 991V2 sneakers made?
These New Balance 991V2 sneakers are part of the 'Made in UK' series and are manufactured at the brand's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom, ensuring premium craftsmanship.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is strongly advised against as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always clean them by hand using appropriate methods for each material and air dry.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush off loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following product instructions carefully.
Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, some break-in period may be required. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider using thinner socks or ensuring the fit is truly appropriate for your foot type.
Sole shows signs of wear prematurely.
The rubber outsole is designed for durability, but heavy use on abrasive surfaces will cause wear. Avoid dragging your feet or using them for activities beyond light walking to extend sole life. While not a repairable issue for standard wear, maintaining good care of the upper will ensure the rest of the shoe lasts.
Odor develops inside the shoe.
Remove the insoles regularly and allow them to air out. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing) or use dedicated shoe deodorizers. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
General dirt or grime on mesh and synthetic areas.
Prepare a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of gentle soap (e.g., dish soap). Using a soft cloth or brush, gently scrub the affected areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry completely.
