FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 suitable for running?
While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning like FuelCell, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer with heritage running aesthetics. For dedicated high-impact running, sport-specific running shoes may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the suede on these trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid saturating the suede with water.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that this product is manufactured in New Balance's factories in the United Kingdom, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and heritage production.
How does the FuelCell technology compare to older cushioning systems?
FuelCell is New Balance's most responsive foam cushioning. It offers a more energetic and springy feel compared to older technologies like ENCAP alone, providing enhanced comfort and performance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and other materials.
What is the difference between the 991 and 991v2 models?
The 991v2 represents an evolution of the original 991. Key updates typically include refined silhouettes, updated cushioning technologies (like full-length FuelCell in the v2), and updated material combinations while maintaining the iconic design language.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The tread pattern provides traction, but worn-down areas may reduce grip. Avoid wearing on excessively wet or oily surfaces.
