FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 991v2 features advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for comfort and style, not for high-performance or competitive running.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to New Balance's official size chart, which usually provides measurements in centimeters or inches to help you find the best fit. Ensure you measure your foot accurately.
What is the difference between the 991 and 991v2?
The 991v2 is an updated version that features a refined silhouette and integrates full-length FuelCell cushioning, representing a significant technological advancement over the original 991 model.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and maintain their appearance and longevity.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, England, reflecting a commitment to premium craftsmanship and quality materials.
How often should I clean my suede trainers?
Regular brushing with a suede brush after wear can help maintain their condition. Deep cleaning with specialized products should be done as needed, depending on the level of dirt or staining.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
New shoes, especially those made with premium materials like suede, may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with new ones. You can purchase New Balance replacement laces or any standard shoelaces of a similar length and thickness.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. If wear is evident on the tread pattern, it may be time to consider replacement, although this is rare for well-maintained shoes.
