FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK trainers are designed for comfort and lifestyle wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and are best suited for walking and casual activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the UK sizing guide will help ensure the best fit. These are unisex trainers, so consider standard unisex sizing.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers have been manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, adhering to high standards of craftsmanship and quality associated with British shoemaking.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers are made with durable materials, suede can be sensitive to moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material's appearance and integrity. Consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for suede.
What is the primary difference between this and other 991 models?
The 'Made in UK 991v2' designation highlights its premium construction in England and the specific v2 update, which often includes refined cushioning technologies like FuelCell and ABZORB SBS for enhanced comfort and performance compared to earlier versions.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is normal for new suede and performance materials. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Uneven color in suede material
Variations in suede texture and color are natural and contribute to the unique character of the shoe. This is not a defect.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to new sole components. Try wearing them for a bit longer. If the issue persists, check if the insoles are properly seated.
