FAQs

What is FuelCell cushioning?

FuelCell is an innovative, high-rebound cushioning foam developed by New Balance, designed to deliver a propulsive feel and superior energy return, enhancing comfort over long periods.

How do I clean the pigskin suede material?

For best results, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede cleaner for stains. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and allow to air dry naturally.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

While highly comfortable, the New Balance U991BP2 is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, not for high-performance running or intense sports activities. Its construction prioritizes everyday comfort and style.

Where are these New Balance sneakers made?

These sneakers are part of the 'MADE in UK' series, meticulously crafted at New Balance's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom, ensuring premium quality and attention to detail.

What are ENCAP and ABZORB SBS?

ENCAP is a midsole technology that combines soft EVA cushioning with a durable polyurethane rim for long-lasting support and comfort. ABZORB SBS refers to dense foam pods, often placed in the heel, which provide additional stability and superior shock absorption.

How does the U991BP2 differ from previous 991 models?

The 991v2 iteration, like the U991BP2, features a sleeker design and incorporates full-length FuelCell cushioning, an update from previous models while retaining the classic pigskin suede and mesh upper, alongside ABZORB SBS and ENCAP features.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction for best results.

Visible dirt or stains on the upper

For mesh/synthetic parts, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously.

Unpleasant odor from the shoes

Remove insoles and allow both insoles and shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda (placed in a sock inside the shoe overnight) to absorb odors.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your sneakers.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt on the mesh or synthetic areas, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
  2. Suede Care: Pigskin suede requires specialized attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the suede.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or fade.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and textile sneakers to add an extra layer of protection.
