FAQs

Are the New Balance 991v2 suitable for running?

While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning like FuelCell, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with excellent support and comfort for walking and daily wear. For intense or specialized running, dedicated running shoes might be more appropriate.

How does the 991v2 differ from previous 991 models?

The most significant update in the 991v2 is the introduction of full-length FuelCell cushioning, replacing the ENCAP sole unit found in earlier versions. The upper also features a more streamlined silhouette.

What does 'MADE in UK' signify?

'MADE in UK' signifies that the shoe is manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, adhering to high standards of craftsmanship and quality associated with their premium products.

Can I wear the 991v2 in wet weather?

The 991v2 is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended, especially for the suede components. Consider using a suede protector spray for added water resistance.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to refer to New Balance's sizing chart and measure your foot. As these are UK sizes, ensure you are converting correctly if you are familiar with US or EU sizing. Trying them on in-store if possible is the best way to ensure a proper fit.

What is the warranty period for the 991v2?

New Balance typically offers a standard warranty on their footwear against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official New Balance website or your retailer for the specific warranty terms and duration applicable in your region.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct for your foot width. Break them in with short periods of wear before extended use.

Suede material looks dull or stained

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Try a different lacing technique, such as a secure knot or a double knot, if they are consistently coming undone.
