FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 suitable for running?
While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning like FuelCell, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday wear and comfort, not for dedicated high-performance running.
How do I clean the brown suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Avoid excessive water and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
It signifies that the shoe has been manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and premium materials.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The 991v2 generally runs true to size for most wearers. However, suede and mesh can have a slight break-in period. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit and foot width.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoe offers some protection, suede is best kept dry. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.
What is the difference between the 991 and 991v2?
The 991v2 is an evolution of the original 991. Key updates include a streamlined upper profile and the integration of full-length FuelCell cushioning, alongside updated ABZORB SBS and ENCAP features.
What kind of socks are best with the 991v2?
Mid-weight or performance socks that provide cushioning and moisture-wicking properties are recommended for optimal comfort with the 991v2.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is common with premium suede. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The cushioning will also soften with use.
Suede appears discolored after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, a suede cleaner might be necessary.
Fit feels too snug
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. If the width is an issue, consider if a wider fit variant is available. The shoe may also loosen slightly with wear.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The FuelCell and ABZORB cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance can be impacted by heavy wear. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dry to prolong material integrity.
