FAQs
What does 'Made In England' signify for these New Balance 991v2 sneakers?
'Made In England' signifies premium craftsmanship and quality. These shoes are produced in New Balance's factory in Flimby, UK, adhering to high manufacturing standards, often involving hand-finishing and rigorous quality control.
How do I determine my correct New Balance size?
New Balance shoes generally run true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the official New Balance size chart. For the most accurate fit, trying them on at a retailer is always the best option.
Are these New Balance 991v2 shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?
While the 991v2 offers modern comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, not a performance running shoe. For athletic activities, New Balance offers specific models engineered with specialized technologies for running or training.
Can I machine wash my New Balance 991v2?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these premium sneakers. The harsh agitation and detergents can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall construction. Always follow manual cleaning instructions for best results.
What materials are typically used in the New Balance 991v2 Black?
The New Balance 991v2 models commonly feature a combination of premium materials such as high-quality suede, breathable mesh, and durable synthetic overlays, along with a rubber outsole for traction and longevity.
How often should I clean my New Balance 991v2?
Clean your sneakers as needed, especially after visible dirt or scuffs appear. Regular, gentle cleaning (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly depending on wear) will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Is the 'Black' colorway prone to fading over time?
Like many dark-colored materials, prolonged and excessive exposure to harsh sunlight can potentially cause slight fading over a long period. Proper storage away from direct sunlight can help preserve the color vibrancy.
Do these shoes offer good arch support for everyday wear?
Yes, New Balance shoes are generally known for incorporating supportive footbeds and midsole technology to provide comfort and a reasonable level of arch support suitable for everyday wear and walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. New Balance shoes generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try them on in the evening when feet are typically slightly larger. Allow for a short break-in period, wearing them for shorter durations initially.
Scuff marks or visible dirt on the premium upper.
For minor scuffs, gently use a soft brush or specific shoe eraser. For dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. If suede is present, use a specialized suede cleaning kit (brush, cleaner, eraser) following its instructions.
Shoes appear to be losing their original shape or developing creases.
Use shoe trees (ideally cedar wood) when not wearing your sneakers. This helps absorb moisture and maintains the original form, preventing creasing in the toe box and midfoot.
A squeaking sound occurs when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated within the shoe. Sometimes, removing and reinserting it correctly can resolve the issue. If the squeak persists, a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch sprinkled under the insole can sometimes reduce friction and noise.

Care
To maintain the premium appearance and extend the lifespan of your New Balance 991v2, especially given its likely suede and mesh composition:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For suede areas (as suggested by other variants), use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede cleaner for tougher stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, which can damage materials and cause discoloration.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees (preferably cedar wood) to help absorb moisture and maintain their original shape, preventing creases.
- Protection: Apply a suitable water and stain protector spray designed for premium sneakers, following the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against elements and helps prevent common stains.
