FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 991v2 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by brushing. Avoid water saturation.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, indicating a high standard of craftsmanship and quality.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the difference between the 991v2 and previous 991 models?
The 991v2 features updated ENCAP midsole technology for enhanced comfort and a refined aesthetic compared to earlier versions, while maintaining the iconic silhouette.
What materials are used in the construction?
These trainers are constructed with a combination of premium pigsuede, breathable mesh, and synthetic materials for durability and comfort.
How should I store my New Balance 991v2 trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original shoe box or a dust bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a cloth and gently work on the stain, then brush again once dry.
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are new, suede and mesh can slightly stretch with wear. Consider wearing thinner socks initially or seeking a professional fitting.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Check the lace material. If they are slippery, consider replacing them with textured laces. Ensure knots are tied securely.
Soles feel less cushioned than expected
The ENCAP midsole provides consistent cushioning. If you require more support, consider adding aftermarket insoles designed for added comfort or support.
