FAQs

What makes the 'Made in UK' designation significant?

The 'Made in UK' designation signifies that these sneakers are produced at New Balance's Flimby factory in the UK, known for its high standards of craftsmanship and quality control, using premium materials.

How does the ENCAP midsole cushioning work?

ENCAP midsole cushioning combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim. This construction provides all-day support and a comfortable, stable feel underfoot.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

The 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, prioritizing comfort and style for everyday wear. While it offers good cushioning, it is not engineered for high-impact running activities.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with New Balance's official sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK sizing conventions, as they can differ from other international standards.

Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?

The materials offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to clean them promptly if they get wet.

What is the difference between the 991 and 991v2?

The 991v2 is an evolution of the classic 991 silhouette, often featuring updated materials, slight design tweaks, and refinements in cushioning technology while maintaining the core aesthetic.

How often should I clean my sneakers?

Clean your sneakers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the noise persists, check if the insole is properly seated or if there's debris trapped within the sole.

Uneven fit or pressure points

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to alleviate pressure. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consult the retailer for potential exchanges.

Material scuffs or stains

Address stains promptly using the recommended cleaning methods for suede, mesh, and synthetic materials. For persistent scuffs on suede, a suede eraser may help.
