FAQs
What makes the 'Made In England' label significant?
The 'Made In England' designation signifies that these trainers are crafted in the New Balance factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK. This highlights a commitment to quality craftsmanship and celebrates the heritage and style associated with British manufacturing.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, gently use a damp cloth or a specialized suede cleaner, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 991 features an ABZORB midsole for comfort and shock absorption, making them excellent for everyday wear and walking. However, they are not specifically designed as performance running shoes and may lack the specialized features required for high-impact athletic training.
What is the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning. It helps to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during wear.
How does the ENCAP sole unit contribute to the shoe?
The ENCAP sole unit combines a soft foam midsole with a durable polyurethane rim, offering support and maximum durability for long-lasting wear and comfort.
Can I wash these trainers?
No, machine washing or tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and adhesives. Hand clean using the recommended care instructions.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular wear, these trainers are built for durability. Their lifespan typically depends on the frequency of use, the activities performed while wearing them, and adherence to care instructions. The robust construction suggests they can last for several years of moderate use.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning or support
The ABZORB midsole may require time to break in. If the issue persists after regular wear, ensure the shoes are not damaged and consider replacing them if they are significantly worn.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. For very smooth surfaces, the traction might be naturally limited. Avoid wearing in wet conditions if maximum grip is required.
