FAQs
What makes the ABZORB midsole special?
The ABZORB midsole is a proprietary New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It provides excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during wear.
Are the New Balance 991 suitable for running?
While the 991 offers excellent comfort and cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific running shoe models optimized for performance and support during high-impact activities.
How do I know if my UK 7.5 size is correct?
Refer to the official New Balance sizing chart available on their website or through reputable retailers. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is the most reliable method.
Can I wash my New Balance 991 in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the New Balance 991, especially due to the suede and mesh upper. This can damage the materials, affect the shape, and compromise the adhesives. Hand wash using the recommended care instructions.
What is the significance of 'Made In The UK'?
The 'Made In The UK' designation signifies that these trainers are manufactured at the New Balance factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK. This label is associated with high standards of craftsmanship, quality materials, and a heritage of shoe production.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on usage and environmental conditions. For regular wear, a light brushing after each wear to remove surface dirt is beneficial. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed when visible stains or significant soiling occurs.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try inserting a talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction. Ensure insoles are properly seated.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If persistent rubbing occurs, check for any manufacturing defects or consider professional shoe stretching.
Color transfer from suede onto socks or other materials
This is more common with darker or dyed suedes. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protector spray. Initial wears might benefit from darker socks until any excess dye has dissipated.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede and mesh. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner with a damp cloth, being careful not to oversaturate the material. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag. Allow to dry completely before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
