FAQs

What makes the 991v2 different from the original 991?

The 991v2 features a significant update with full-length FuelCell cushioning for enhanced comfort and responsiveness, a sleeker upper profile, and updated construction techniques while retaining classic design elements like ABZORB SBS pods and ENCAP.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and support for walking and light activities, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not a dedicated performance running shoe.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to refer to New Balance's official sizing chart. If possible, trying the shoes on in person is the best way to ensure a proper fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models and individuals.

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that the shoe has been manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, denoting a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and materials.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The suede and mesh upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces is not recommended and may damage the materials. Use appropriate waterproofing sprays if needed.

How often should I clean my 991v2 sneakers?

Regular cleaning after wear, especially for the suede and mesh, will help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed, based on the level of dirt and usage.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or the sole. Try flexing the shoe gently. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, or consult a shoe repair specialist.

Discomfort after wearing

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check if the lacing is too tight or too loose.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Avoid using water-based cleaners on heavy stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult wear. While suitable for a variety of activities, they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light training. They are not specialized for intense athletic performance.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid excessive water.
  • Cleaning Mesh and Synthetics: A damp cloth with mild soap can be used for surface cleaning. Ensure all soap residue is wiped away.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and maintain shape.
