New Balance 991v2 - White - UK 10

New Balance typically runs true to size for most users, but it's always recommended to refer to a size guide if available or try them on to ensure the best fit. This particular model is UK size 10.

While the rubber sole offers traction, the suede and mesh upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.

'Made in UK' indicates that these sneakers are crafted in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, signifying a commitment to premium materials, quality craftsmanship, and often more traditional manufacturing techniques.

The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized sole cleaner. A soft brush can help scrub away dirt from grooves and textures.

The New Balance 991v2 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, emphasizing style and comfort for everyday use. While supportive, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.

For optimal appearance, especially with a white colourway, it's best to gently brush off dirt after each wear. A more thorough cleaning can be done every few weeks or as needed, depending on how frequently they are worn and the conditions.

Regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft brush after each wear. For more stubborn marks, use a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for white footwear and follow the product's instructions carefully. Consider applying a stain repellent spray.

Use a suede brush or eraser to gently lift the nap and remove surface marks. Brush in one consistent direction to restore its original texture. Avoid excessive rubbing which can damage the suede.

Ensure the lacing is not too tight or too loose. The chunky sole provides comfort, but a break-in period might be needed. Consider trying different socks or custom insoles if discomfort persists. Ensure you have the correct size.

Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole material, which usually resolves with more wear.
