While the 991v2 incorporates FuelCell technology, derived from New Balance's performance running shoes, it is primarily designed as a premium lifestyle sneaker for daily wear and comfort. For dedicated athletic running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
New Balance 991v2 generally fits true to size. It is recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure or between sizes, consider trying both your usual size and a half-size up or down to find the most comfortable fit.
No, machine washing is strongly discouraged. The delicate suede and mesh materials, along with the adhesives, can be damaged by harsh detergents, hot water, and the agitation of a washing machine. Always follow the hand-cleaning care instructions provided.
'Made in UK' means these sneakers are meticulously handcrafted at New Balance's Flimby factory in Cumbria, United Kingdom. This designation guarantees a very high standard of craftsmanship, superior quality control, and the use of premium, often locally sourced, materials.
To protect the suede, it is highly recommended to apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and nubuck footwear before the first wear. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions, especially after cleaning or exposure to moisture.
Yes, the New Balance 991v2 features a well-engineered midsole design that includes a heel stabilizer, providing good general arch support suitable for daily wear and comfort. Individual arch support needs can vary, but most users find the support sufficient for lifestyle use.
With proper care and limited exposure to direct, prolonged sunlight, the grey color of your New Balance 991v2 should maintain its vibrancy. However, all materials, especially suede, can show slight changes over extended periods of use and environmental exposure.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper scuffs or marks, a suede eraser can be applied carefully. Always brush in one direction.
While the FuelCell and ABZORB cushioning are highly durable, prolonged use can lead to some compression. Ensure you are caring for the materials regularly. Consider replacing the insoles with new ones if the discomfort persists, as this can often refresh the feel of the shoe.
Gently wipe the reflective areas with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust, dirt, or grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the reflective material.
Prepare a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of gentle soap. Using a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub the stained mesh area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Air dry completely.
Ensure your shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and allow them to air dry. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out.
Your New Balance 991v2 sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. No complex adjustments or break-in periods are typically required, though initial wear can help the materials conform to your foot shape.
These shoes are designed for adults and offer a versatile aesthetic that pairs well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual wardrobes. Ensure you select your correct UK shoe size for optimal comfort and fit. The classic grey colorway makes them a compatible choice for nearly any color palette.
