FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the 991v2 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the premium leather and the structure of the midsole pods.

What is the difference between the original 991 and the 991v2?

The v2 features an upgraded full-length FuelCell midsole, providing a more responsive and cushioned ride compared to the original version.

Are these suitable for running?

While based on a running silhouette, the 991v2 is intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than performance athletic training.

Where are these shoes manufactured?

The 991v2 is part of the New Balance 'Made in the UK' series, manufactured in their Flimby facility.

How do I protect the leather from rain?

Use a standard, neutral water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against light moisture and stains.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its shine

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically formulated for premium trainers to restore suppleness and appearance.

Reflective details appear scuffed or less bright

Gently wipe the reflective strips with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove oily residue or dirt build-up.

Midsole feels stiff after long storage

Flex the sole manually a few times or wear them for a short walk; the cushioning technology responds to natural body heat and movement.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality materials ensure long-term durability
  • Versatile design suitable for casual and semi-structured settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 991v2 trainers last, follow these guidelines:

  • Break-in Period: Leather uppers may require 2-3 days of regular wear to mold perfectly to the unique shape of your foot.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For deep cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading.
  • Compatibility: These trainers pair well with denim, chinos, or casual trousers, making them highly versatile for a smart-casual wardrobe.
