FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 991v2 fits standard for most adults, though if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the pigskin leather and compromise the adhesive integrity of the midsole.
What is the primary difference between the 991 and the 991v2?
The v2 features updated technology like full-length FuelCell cushioning and refined aesthetic details compared to the original 991.
Is this a running shoe?
While it features performance-inspired technology, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than competitive running.
Do the reflective details work well?
Yes, the integrated reflective elements are designed to catch light, increasing visibility in dim conditions.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh panels
Use a soft brush in a circular motion to lift debris, then dab with a damp cloth; avoid heavy soaking.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the material retain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 991v2 trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Use a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede before first wear.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the mesh and pigskin sections. For stains, apply a specialized sneaker cleaning solution using a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the pigments in the blue and grey materials from fading.
- Laces: To maintain the slim silhouette, ensure the laces are tied with a standard tension that secures the foot without distorting the shape of the tongue.
