FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
The New Balance 991v2 Made in UK trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support for daily activities. They are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
To clean suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, indicating a commitment to premium craftsmanship and quality standards.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers are durable, suede is sensitive to moisture. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material's quality and appearance. Consider using a suede protector spray.

How do I find the right UK size?
Refer to the New Balance official sizing chart. It is recommended to measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the chart's measurements for UK sizing. Ensure your heel is against a wall and mark the longest point of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. Consider the fit of other New Balance shoes you may own. If still unsure, contact customer support for guidance.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the cleaner's instructions, and allow to air dry.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
General discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's support features meet your needs.
