FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance MiUK 991v2 Sneaker is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers excellent cushioning for walking and all-day comfort, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance running activities.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart on their official website. Generally, UK sizing for men's shoes is different from US or EU sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart provided.
What is the main difference between the 991v2 and previous 991 models?
The 991v2 represents an evolution of the classic 991 silhouette, often featuring updated cushioning technologies like the ENCAP and ABZORB SBS, along with refinements in materials and construction, while maintaining the core aesthetic.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and maintain their appearance and longevity.
How often should I clean my 991v2 sneakers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For regular wear, a light brush to remove dust after each wear is beneficial. Deep cleaning should be done as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.
What does 'MiUK' signify?
'MiUK' signifies that the product is 'Made in the UK', indicating its origin of manufacture in New Balance's Flimby factory in Cumbria, England.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days, or check if any part of the sole or upper is rubbing against itself. A very small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the squeak is internal.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing the correct size socks. If the shoes feel slightly tight, wearing them for short periods initially can help break them in. Check that laces are not tied too tightly.
Suede color transfer
In damp conditions, some color transfer from suede is possible. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If transfer occurs, allow the affected area to dry completely and then try brushing gently with a suede brush.
