FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

The 991v2 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support. While they provide good cushioning, they are not specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for foot length in inches or centimeters corresponding to UK sizes. It's also helpful to try them on if possible or check customer reviews for sizing advice.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials (especially suede) and affect the shoe's structure and cushioning.

What is the key difference between the 991 and 991v2 models?

The 991v2 often features updated cushioning technology (like ABZORB and ENCAP) for improved comfort and support, along with contemporary design tweaks while retaining the classic silhouette.

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that the product is manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, adhering to their high standards of quality and craftsmanship for premium footwear.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If the issue persists, ensure there's no debris trapped in the tread.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider wearing thicker socks initially. If discomfort continues in specific areas, try adjusting the lacing pattern.

Stains on suede or mesh

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft brush, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Material Care: For the suede and pigskin elements, consider using a suede eraser or protector spray specifically designed for these materials.
