FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole is designed to provide superior cushioning and shock absorption, offering enhanced comfort for extended wear and reducing impact on your feet.
How should I clean the suede material on these trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 991 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort for walking and daily activities. While they provide good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes.
Where are these New Balance 991 trainers made?
These specific 'Made In The UK' models are crafted in the New Balance factory located in Flimby, Cumbria, UK.
What materials are used in the upper of the shoe?
The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and breathable mesh.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. This specific model is listed in UK size 8. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult reviews regarding fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, particularly the suede and the midsole technology, compromising the shoe's structure and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Mesh appears discolored.
Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the material.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time.
While the ABZORB midsole is durable, prolonged heavy use can affect cushioning. Ensure shoes are properly stored to maintain their structure. Consider rotating with other footwear if worn daily.
Traction feels reduced.
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn down; replacement may be necessary if wear is significant.
