FAQs

What makes the New Balance 991v2 different from previous versions?

The 'v2' signifies an updated model, with the most notable change being the introduction of a full-length FuelCell midsole, working alongside ABZORB SBS pods and ENCAP tech for enhanced cushioning and support.

Where are these New Balance shoes manufactured?

These sneakers are meticulously made in New Balance's factory in Flimby, United Kingdom, ensuring high standards of craftsmanship.

What materials are used in the upper part of the shoe?

The upper features a combination of premium pigskin suede and breathable mesh for both durability and comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for running or high-intensity sports?

The 991v2 is designed for 'all-day wear' and premium foot support, making it excellent for daily comfort and casual use. While it offers advanced cushioning, it's not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

How should I clean the white suede and mesh?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For mesh, a mild soap solution with a soft brush and damp cloth works well. Always air dry and avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What is FuelCell technology?

FuelCell is New Balance's highest performing cushioning foam, designed to deliver a propulsive feel and provide full-length, responsive cushioning for enhanced comfort.

What do ABZORB SBS and ENCAP technologies do?

ABZORB SBS pods provide enhanced shock absorption and cushioning, while ENCAP technology contributes to the midsole's durability and offers stable support.

Troubleshooting

White color gets dirty too quickly.

Regularly wipe down the mesh with a damp cloth and use a suede brush after each wear to prevent dirt buildup. Apply a protective spray before the first wear.

Suede looks matted or discolored.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser. Avoid getting suede excessively wet, as this can cause discoloration.

Shoes feel less comfortable over time.

While built for durability, regular use can compress cushioning. Ensure you're wearing the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider if insoles need replacing, though the built-in technologies are designed for long-term support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your New Balance 991v2 is straightforward:

  1. Unboxing: Remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Thread the laces through the eyelets and adjust for a snug, comfortable fit.
  3. First Wear: Walk around in them to ensure they feel right. The premium cushioning should provide immediate comfort.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual and lifestyle attire. Their advanced support systems make them suitable for general daily wear, running errands, or casual social outings. They are not specifically designed for high-performance athletic activities, though they offer excellent comfort for light exercise.

Care

Maintaining the pristine condition of your white New Balance 991v2 is crucial:

  • Regular Cleaning: Due to the white color and suede material, regular, gentle cleaning is recommended.
  • Suede Care: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a gentle suede cleaner can be used. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Mesh Cleaning: For the mesh sections, a soft brush and a mild soap solution with a damp cloth can effectively clean dirt.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and mesh footwear to protect against spills and dirt.
