FAQs
What does 'Made in the UK' signify for this sneaker?
It signifies that the sneaker is manufactured at New Balance's Flimby factory in the UK, representing a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and premium quality.
How do the ENCAP and ABZORB SBS technologies differ?
ENCAP midsole cushioning combines soft foam with a durable polyurethane rim for all-day support. ABZORB SBS in the heel provides additional stability and comfort specifically in the heel area.
Can I wear these for running or sports?
These sneakers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like serious running.
How should I clean the pig suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.
What is the main difference between the 991 and 991v2 models?
The 991v2 represents an evolution of the classic 991 silhouette, incorporating updated design elements and potentially refined cushioning or materials while maintaining the core aesthetic.
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?
New Balance often offers various width options. Check the specific product listing for available widths beyond the standard fit.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Specific warranty information is best obtained from the retailer or the official New Balance website, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic and fit. New Balance offers replacement laces.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
Ensure the midsole and heel cushioning are free from debris. While cushioning naturally softens with use, regular wear and proper care will prolong its effectiveness.
Tongue slips to one side
Ensure the laces are threaded through the lace loop on the tongue, if present, to keep it in place.
