FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 true to size?
Generally, New Balance 991v2 models are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If you are unsure or between sizes, trying them on or consulting a detailed size guide is recommended.
What does 'Made In England' signify for these sneakers?
'Made In England' indicates that these shoes are manufactured in New Balance's Flimby factory in the UK. This designation is synonymous with superior craftsmanship, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail in the production process.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the New Balance 991v2, especially due to the premium materials like suede and leather. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always opt for hand cleaning methods.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The New Balance 991v2 typically features a blend of premium materials in its upper, often including high-quality suede and breathable mesh, along with synthetic overlays for structure and durability.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running or training?
While the 991v2 offers excellent comfort and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. For dedicated running or training, New Balance offers specialized performance footwear models engineered for those specific activities.
How often should I clean my New Balance 991v2?
Regular light cleaning, such as brushing off dirt, is recommended after each wear to prevent build-up. For deeper cleaning, address stains and dirt as they appear to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the affected areas, lifting the nap and removing surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be applied sparingly.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with premium materials. Wear the shoes for short periods over several days to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. The materials will soften with use.
Scuffs or marks on the midsole
Gently wipe the midsole with a damp cloth or a soft sponge dipped in a mild soap solution. For more stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaning solution can be used, applied with caution.
Bad odor developing inside the shoes
Remove insoles and allow them and the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
