New Balance 991v2 Trainers - Polignac / Toadstool / Silver - Size 6

While the 991v2 offers excellent cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific running shoe models.

It is recommended to consult the New Balance size guide for the most accurate fit. If possible, try them on in-store as UK sizing can differ from other international standards. The 991v2 generally offers a standard fit.

This designation means the trainers are manufactured at New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK. This often signifies a higher standard of craftsmanship, premium materials, and attention to detail associated with heritage footwear production.

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the suede and mesh materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and clean them promptly if they get wet.

ENCAP cushioning combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim for all-day support. ABZORB SBS specifically targets the heel area, providing enhanced stability and superior shock absorption for a responsive feel.

The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick brush of the suede and a wipe of the soles can be done regularly. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try loosening the laces slightly, or if the noise persists, check for any loose threads or debris inside the shoe.

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure the lacing is appropriate – not too tight, not too loose.

For suede, use a specialized suede eraser or brush. For mesh and synthetic parts, a damp cloth with mild soap may help. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
