FAQs
Are the New Balance 991 suitable for running?
The New Balance 991 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer, prioritizing comfort and style. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic training compared to specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'Made in the UK' signify?
This designation means the trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK. It signifies a commitment to quality craftsmanship and heritage manufacturing.
What is the ABZORB midsole technology?
ABZORB is a superior cushioning and shock absorption technology developed by New Balance. It helps to reduce impact forces, providing a comfortable feel throughout the day.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to check the New Balance size guide for UK shoe sizes. Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the suede offers some protection, the mesh panels can be susceptible to water. It is advisable to use a suede protector spray for added water resistance, but avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to prolong their life and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces to allow for more volume. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Consider using thinner socks.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The ABZORB midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally lessen with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for casual trainers.
