FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a specialized New Balance technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact and helping to distribute force efficiently.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It's recommended to try them on if possible. Refer to New Balance's official size chart and measure your foot length in centimeters or inches to compare with the UK sizing. Consider your usual sock thickness.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning, the 991 series is primarily designed as a lifestyle or 'trainer' shoe for casual wear and comfort, not as a high-performance running shoe.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Clean as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or moisture. Regular brushing can help maintain the suede's appearance between deeper cleans.

What does 'Made In The UK' signify?

It signifies that the shoe has been manufactured at the New Balance factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and heritage craftsmanship.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

The trainers typically have a removable insole, which may allow space for custom orthotics. However, fit will depend on the thickness of the orthotic. It's best to check if your orthotics fit comfortably within the shoe.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. It is advisable to check the specific warranty details provided by the seller at the time of purchase.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to see if it resolves. Ensure the insoles are seated correctly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Tight fit

New balance trainers can have a snug fit initially. Wear them with thin socks to break them in. If still too tight after several wears, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a shoe repair specialist for advice.

Discoloration on suede

Exposed suede to water or certain chemicals can cause discoloration. Use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede brush to attempt to restore the color. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but some very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists, consider having a cobbler add a thin layer of grip-enhancing material to the sole.
