FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers suitable for running?
While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual trainers. They are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running, which may require specialized footwear.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For best results, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first and following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that the product is manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, England. This designation typically reflects a higher standard of craftsmanship, premium materials, and attention to detail.
What is the main difference between the 991v2 and previous versions?
The 991v2 introduces updated cushioning technology, notably FuelCell and ABZORB SBS pods, offering enhanced comfort and responsiveness compared to earlier models. The aesthetic and material choices also see refinements.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers are made with suede and mesh, which are not ideal for heavy rain. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to wet conditions may damage the materials. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for footwear, but test it on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details may vary by region and retailer. It is recommended to check the warranty information provided at the time of purchase or on the official New Balance website.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, which usually includes conversions for UK, US, and European sizing. Consider your usual shoe size and whether you prefer a snug or looser fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear.
Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a few hours indoors to allow the materials to gently conform to your foot shape. Avoid wearing them outside until a comfortable fit is achieved.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions precisely. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Midsole feels stiff initially.
The cushioning technologies may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the cushioning softens.
Laces showing signs of wear.
Inspect laces regularly. Replace with new laces of a similar length and material if they appear frayed or damaged to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
