FAQs
What makes the 'Made in UK' designation significant?
The 'Made in UK' designation signifies that the trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, a mark of heritage craftsmanship and quality.
What type of material is the upper primarily made of?
The upper is constructed with a combination of classic pig suede, mesh, and synthetic materials.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic training?
While comfortable for walking and everyday use, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, not for high-impact athletic training.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
It is recommended to consult the official New Balance size guide, which provides measurements to help you find your best fit. For the 991v2, UK sizing is provided.

This model features a grey color family with secondary brown earth tones.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect.
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and consider trying on multiple sizes if possible. Different models can have slight variations.
