FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 suitable for running?
While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning technologies like FuelCell, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with heritage running aesthetics. For serious or high-impact running, dedicated running shoes may offer more specialized support.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, testing on a small area first. Allow to air dry completely away from heat.
What does 'Made in England' signify?
This designation signifies that the shoes are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, England, highlighting a commitment to premium craftsmanship and heritage construction.
Are these trainers true to size?
The 991v2 generally runs true to size for most wearers. However, due to the premium materials, they might feel snug initially. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult New Balance's sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
What is the main difference between the 991v2 and previous 991 models?
The 991v2 introduces a full-length FuelCell midsole for enhanced cushioning and a more streamlined silhouette compared to earlier versions, while retaining classic design elements and construction quality.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance 991v2. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand washing with specialized cleaners is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The initial wear may feel snug due to the premium materials; try wearing them for short periods to break them in. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted to provide more or less volume.
Suede material looks dull or stained.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth and blot gently. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
The cushioning is designed for durable performance. If responsiveness decreases, ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris. For significant wear, consider replacement as the cushioning components naturally degrade over extended use.
Sole is slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean. For increased grip on specific terrains, consider the intended use case of the trainers.
