FAQs

What makes the 991v2 different from the original 991?

The 991v2 features an updated design with full-length FuelCell cushioning for enhanced comfort and responsiveness, while retaining classic ABZORB SBS pods and ENCAP features. The upper also has a more streamlined profile.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The 991v2 offers excellent cushioning and support suitable for light jogging and shorter runs. For high-intensity or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes might offer more specialized performance features.

How do I clean the brown suede and mesh upper?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For dirt, use a slightly damp cloth on mesh and synthetic parts. For stubborn stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully, avoiding saturation.

What is the benefit of the FuelCell cushioning?

FuelCell is New Balance's most responsive foam, providing a high level of energy return and a plush, cushioned feel to help reduce fatigue during wear.

Are these trainers made in the UK?

Yes, the 'MADE in UK' designation signifies that this shoe is crafted with high standards of quality and materials in New Balance's UK factory.

What is the difference between ABZORB SBS and ENCAP?

ABZORB SBS is a cushioning technology designed for heel shock absorption, while ENCAP is a core of responsive foam encapsulated in a durable polyurethane shell, providing support and durability.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

The removable insoles allow space for many standard orthotics. However, fit may vary depending on the size and shape of the orthotic insert.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Allow for a break-in period of a few wears as the shoe molds to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider if the width is appropriate for your foot.

Reduced cushioning or bounce

The cushioning system is designed for longevity, but performance can be affected by heavy use or wear. Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that might impede the cushioning's function. If the shoes are significantly worn, the cushioning may have naturally degraded over time.

Suede material looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid using water on suede unless specified by the cleaner.
