FAQs
What does 'Made in UK' signify for New Balance sneakers?
The 'Made in UK' designation means the sneakers are manufactured at New Balance's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom. This signifies a commitment to premium craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and often results in meticulous attention to detail.
How do I properly clean the pig suede on my 991v2s?
For pig suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner to a clean cloth, gently rub the stained area, and then brush the nap back into place once dry. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports activities?
While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe. Its construction and support are optimized for everyday comfort and urban wear, not for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
What is ENCAP AP midsole cushioning?
ENCAP AP is an evolved New Balance midsole technology that combines soft, lightweight foam for shock absorption with a durable polyurethane rim. This combination provides both comprehensive support and long-lasting durability for all-day comfort.
What is ABZORB SBS heel cushioning?
ABZORB SBS is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology specifically engineered for the heel area. It provides enhanced stability and additional cushioning by utilizing a non-cellular foam material that absorbs impact and disperses energy.
Do New Balance 991v2s run true to size?
Generally, New Balance 991v2 models tend to run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a New Balance sizing guide for accuracy.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
Due to the pig suede and mesh upper, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be sensitive to moisture and may stain or become damaged. Applying a water-resistant spray designed for mixed-material footwear can offer some protection against light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift dirt and restore its original texture and appearance.
Sneakers feel stiff or slightly uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new premium footwear. Allow a break-in period by wearing the shoes for shorter durations over several days. The materials will soften and mold to your foot for a more comfortable fit.
Persistent unpleasant odor inside the shoes.
Remove the insoles and allow them and the shoes to air out completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your 991v2 sneakers, especially given their premium materials.
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a damp, clean cloth to gently wipe surfaces. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Suede Care: For pig suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner and protector are recommended. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Mesh and Synthetic Areas: These can typically be cleaned with mild soap and water applied with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse with a damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials, especially suede.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for mixed-material footwear, including suede, to add an extra layer of protection.
