FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The 991v2 features an ABZORB midsole for cushioning, making them comfortable for walking and general daily wear. However, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not optimized for dedicated running activities.
How do I clean the reflective details?
The reflective details can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the reflective coating.
What is the primary material of the 991v2 'Retro Pop' trainers?
The trainers feature a mix of materials including pigsuede, mesh, and synthetic elements for the upper construction.
How does the 'Made in UK' designation impact the shoe?
The 'Made in UK' label signifies a commitment to high manufacturing standards and quality craftsmanship, often associated with premium materials and construction techniques.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials. It is best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to clean and dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.
What does 'Retro Pop' refer to in the product description?
'Retro Pop' refers to the design aesthetic, which combines a classic, sophisticated look with playful, contrasting color accents inspired by bubblegum pop culture.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?
The 991v2 generally runs true to size for most customers. However, it's always recommended to consult New Balance's specific sizing chart for the most accurate fit, as slight variations can occur between models.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before brushing.
Rubbing or discomfort on heel
Ensure correct sock usage. Try wearing thicker socks initially. If the issue persists, the shoe might need a short break-in period, or consider if the size is a perfect fit.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occasionally happen with darker suede dyes, especially when new or wet. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wear and consider using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Reduced cushioning over time
While ABZORB is durable, cushioning can lessen with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive moisture can help maintain performance. For very heavily used shoes, replacement may be necessary.
