FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 Made in UK trainers suitable for running?
No, the 991v2 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers good cushioning, it is not engineered for the specific demands of running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the New Balance size chart. Trying them on with your usual socks is also advisable. Note that 'Made in UK' models can sometimes have slight fit variations.
What is the main difference between the 991v2 and previous 991 models?
The 991v2 features an updated ENROF-ABZORB midsole for enhanced cushioning and a revised overall design while maintaining the premium Made in UK craftsmanship and classic silhouette.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers, especially due to the suede and mesh materials. It can damage the construction and materials. Hand cleaning with specific products is the appropriate method.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that the product is manufactured in one of New Balance's factories in the United Kingdom, reflecting a heritage of quality craftsmanship.
How should I store my 991v2 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping them in their original box or using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consult the size chart or consider trying a half-size up or down based on personal preference and reviews, as fit can vary.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a suede eraser or a soft brush to gently remove dry dirt and revive the nap. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ENROF-ABZORB midsole is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for lifestyle footwear. Consider rotating with other shoes.
Laces fraying
Carefully inspect laces for wear. If frayed, they can be replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Keep laces tied loosely when storing to reduce stress.
