FAQs
What does 'Made In England' signify for these sneakers?
The 'Made In England' designation highlights that these sneakers are crafted in New Balance's Flimby factory in the UK, representing premium craftsmanship, superior quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail during production.
How do I best clean the New Balance 991v2?
For general cleaning, use a soft brush. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser. For mesh or synthetic parts, a damp cloth with mild soap is effective. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While comfortable and durable, the New Balance 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. For high-performance running or sports, New Balance offers other models specifically engineered for those activities.
What materials are used in the construction of the 991v2?
The 991v2 features a combination of premium materials, often including high-quality suede, mesh, and synthetic overlays, ensuring both durability and a refined aesthetic.
How can I protect my New Balance 991v2 from stains and water?
It is recommended to apply a protective spray specifically designed for sneakers, suitable for mixed materials like suede and mesh, to help repel water and prevent stains.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
New Balance sizing can be generally consistent, but fit can vary slightly between models and 'Made In England' series. It's often recommended to try them on or refer to specific sizing guides if available for the 991v2 series. This particular variant is UK 9.5.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discoloured or dirty after wear
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser. For liquid stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner as directed.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes might require a short break-in period. Adjust lacing for a more comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying different insoles or consulting a footwear specialist.
A 'squeaking' sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and re-inserting the insoles. A small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole can also help reduce friction.
General wear and tear on outer materials
Regular cleaning and proper storage are key. For minor scuffs, a specialist shoe polish or restorer in the matching colour may help. Avoid abrasive surfaces to minimize damage.
