FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers suitable for running?
While offering good cushioning, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for comfort and style, not for high-performance athletic activities like running.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, paying close attention to UK sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit. These are unisex adult sizes.
What is the main difference between the 991v1 and 991v2?
The 991v2 typically features updated cushioning technology and design refinements compared to the original 991v1, often focusing on improved comfort and modern aesthetics while retaining the classic silhouette.
Can I wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning should be done by hand using appropriate methods for suede, mesh, and synthetic materials to avoid 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, indicating a commitment to quality craftsmanship and materials.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Is the suede material waterproof?
Suede is naturally water-resistant to some degree, but not waterproof. Heavy exposure to water can stain and damage the material. Using a protective spray is recommended for enhanced water repellency.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialist suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly to prevent undue stress.
