FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 991v2 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet, as this can cause discoloration and damage.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that the product has been manufactured in New Balance's factories in the United Kingdom, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and heritage.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the 991v2 trainers feature a unisex design, making them suitable for individuals of any gender.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot accurately. Consider the combination of length and width, and the material of the socks you typically wear. As these are suede, they may offer slight flexibility after a break-in period.
What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?
It is best to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be applied carefully.
Shoes feel tight after initial wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Wearing them with thinner socks initially can also help. If tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate.
Discoloration on suede from water
Water stains can be difficult to remove completely. Once dry, try brushing the area with a suede brush. Applying a suede protector spray *before* wear can help prevent future water damage.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
Ensure the shoes are not being overused for strenuous activities not intended for them. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain the integrity of the sole.
