FAQs

Are New Balance 991v2 sneakers true to size?

New Balance sizing can sometimes vary. It is generally recommended to consult New Balance's official size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes. This specific model is UK size 5.5.

What does 'Made In England' mean for these sneakers?

'Made In England' signifies that the sneakers are manufactured at New Balance's Flimby factory in the UK, often using premium materials and adhering to high standards of craftsmanship and quality control.

Can I wear these sneakers for running or sports?

While comfortable and supportive, the New Balance 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker rather than for high-performance running or sports. For athletic activities, New Balance offers specific performance-oriented models.

How do I protect my suede New Balance 991v2 from water and stains?

For suede, it's highly recommended to apply a protective suede and nubuck spray before the first wear. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions to create a barrier against water and stains.

Are replacement laces available for the 991v2?

New Balance or third-party retailers often offer replacement laces. Check with authorized dealers or reputable accessory suppliers for laces that match the original style and length of your 991v2.

What is the material composition of the New Balance 991v2 'Black'?

The New Balance 991v2 typically features a mix of premium materials. While this specific model is 'Black', other variants indicate the use of suede, alongside other high-quality textiles and synthetic overlays for durability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to lift dirt and restore texture. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser before brushing.

Sneakers feel initially stiff or uncomfortable.

Premium materials often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose.

Light stains or scuffs on the leather/synthetic parts.

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a small amount of mild soap diluted in water can be applied, then wiped clean with a fresh damp cloth. Dry immediately.
