FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the New Balance 991v2 offers excellent cushioning and comfort, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a performance running shoe. For running, we recommend New Balance's dedicated running shoe lines.
How do I clean the suede upper?
For best results, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid using water excessively, and never put them in a washing machine.
What does "MiUK" mean?
"MiUK" stands for "Made in UK," indicating that these sneakers are handcrafted in New Balance's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom, signifying premium craftsmanship and quality.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent across models, but fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are new to the 991 series.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The suede upper is not naturally waterproof. While light drizzle might be fine, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended as it can damage the suede. Consider a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is FuelCell cushioning?
FuelCell is a nitrogen-injected foam developed by New Balance to deliver a high-rebound, energetic feel, providing exceptional cushioning and propulsion.
What is ENCAP technology?
ENCAP is a New Balance midsole technology combining a soft EVA core with a durable polyurethane rim, offering both cushioning and support for long-lasting comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush the surface in one direction to restore the nap and remove light dirt. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
While designed for comfort, some new shoes may have a slight break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Minor scuffs or marks on the midsole.
Use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner to gently wipe down the rubber and polyurethane midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals on the upper.

- Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.
- Spot Cleaning: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective suede spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
