The 'Made in UK' designation means the shoes are crafted in New Balance's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom, reflecting premium craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and attention to detail in their production.
FuelCell is a high-rebound midsole foam developed by New Balance, designed to deliver a propulsive feel and enhanced energy return, providing superior comfort and responsiveness.
ABZORB SBS refers to a specific application of New Balance's ABZORB cushioning technology, typically denser and strategically placed within the midsole to provide enhanced stability and impact absorption in key areas.
While equipped with advanced cushioning like FuelCell and ABZORB SBS, the New Balance U991BK2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. It provides excellent comfort for everyday wear but is not specifically engineered for the demands of high-performance running or athletic sports.
The upper of the U991BK2 is constructed from a combination of premium pigskin suede and breathable mesh, complemented by subtle leather details and reflective accents.
The New Balance U991BK2 generally fits true to size. It's recommended to select your standard UK shoe size for the best fit. If unsure, refer to New Balance's official sizing guide or try them on.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift away surface dirt. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
If fresh, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of distilled white vinegar on a clean cloth, gently dabbing the stain. Allow to air dry.
While FuelCell and ABZORB are durable, consistent heavy use can eventually compress cushioning. Ensure you are allowing the shoes to air out and recover between wears. Consider replacing them after extensive use.
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles, letting it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Specialized shoe deodorizers can also be used.
The New Balance U991BK2 is designed for adult, unisex wear. It requires no special setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. For optimal compatibility, ensure you select your correct UK shoe size.
