Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your New Balance 991s is as simple as lacing them up! Ensure you select the correct UK size 4 for a snug yet comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to prevent any heel slippage or excessive pressure points. Allow for a brief period of wear to let the shoes conform to the unique shape of your feet.
Compatibility
These `Unisex` sneakers are designed for `adult` use and are highly compatible with a broad range of casual and smart-casual attire. Their `grey` color family makes them a versatile choice that pairs well with most colors and styles, enhancing a sporty yet refined aesthetic.
Care Instructions
To ensure your New Balance 991s maintain their premium look and extend their lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on the `suede` and mesh, use a soft brush or a clean, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently dab the stained area. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap after cleaning and drying.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, particularly on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a suede and fabric protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash your New Balance 991s, as this can damage the materials and construction.
