Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 991 remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: These trainers fit true to size for most, though the suede may take a few wears to soften around the toe box.
- Water Protection: Apply a high-quality suede-safe water repellent spray before your first wear to guard against unexpected spills or light rain.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after use. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser and a gentle suede cleaner; avoid submerging in water or using harsh chemical detergents.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric over time. Utilize shoe trees to maintain the shape of the silhouette.
