FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 991v2 is exceptionally comfortable, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
Does the 991v2 fit true to size?
Yes, most users find the 991v2 fits true to standard New Balance sizing, though individual preference for toe room may vary.
How do I maintain the grey and purple colors?
Keep them clean using a soft brush and avoid exposing them to heavy mud or oil. Spot treat stains immediately with an approved cleaner.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The materials used are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray to provide a basic layer of protection against light moisture.
Can I replace the insoles?
The factory insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Are these made in the UK?
The 991 series is famous for its UK-made craftsmanship, upholding high manufacturing standards.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning light-colored mesh
Use a gentle foam cleaner and a soft toothbrush, dabbing lightly rather than scrubbing hard to avoid damaging the delicate weave.
Sensation of the shoe being too tight
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be more loose across the bridge of the foot, or consider using thinner socks.
