FAQs
What does 'Made in UK' signify for these sneakers?
'Made in UK' indicates that these New Balance 991v2 sneakers were crafted in the brand's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom. This designation is synonymous with high-quality craftsmanship, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or intense workouts?
No, the New Balance 991v2 sneakers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer excellent comfort and cushioning for daily activities and walking, they are not engineered for the demands of high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I ensure the correct size for me?
These sneakers are listed in UK sizing. We recommend consulting the official New Balance size chart to convert to your usual shoe size, or if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit. New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?
While the rubber outsole offers traction, the suede and mesh upper are not inherently waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the materials, especially the suede. For best protection, apply a water-repellent spray designed for sneakers.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It is designed to absorb impact forces and disperse energy, providing superior shock absorption and comfort underfoot.
How often should I clean my 991v2 sneakers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. For best results, brush off loose dirt after each wear. For deeper cleaning, address visible dirt or stains as they appear to prevent them from setting in.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks discolored or stained after exposure to liquid.
Immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Once dry, use a suede eraser for light marks or a specialized suede cleaner for more stubborn stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Sneakers feel less supportive or comfortable over time.
The ABZORB midsole, while durable, will compress over extensive use. This is normal wear. Consider replacing the insoles with fresh, supportive ones to refresh the feel. Ensure proper lacing for optimal foot support.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the sneakers.
After each wear, allow the sneakers to air out completely. You can remove the insoles to help them dry. Use sneaker deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are always worn to help manage moisture.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium look and longevity of your New Balance 991v2 sneakers, especially given the suede and mesh materials.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause stains or alter the texture.
- Cleaning Mesh: For mesh areas, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth or brush. Gently scrub the mesh, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage materials like suede and adhesives.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray designed for suede and textile sneakers before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps protect against moisture and dirt.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your New Balance 991v2 sneakers, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
