FAQs
What is the primary difference between the 991 and 991v2?
The 991v2 model features a significant upgrade in cushioning with a full-length FuelCell midsole and enhanced ABZORB SBS pods, providing improved comfort and support compared to its predecessor.
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?
No, the New Balance 991v2 is designed as a premium lifestyle sneaker, offering exceptional comfort and support for all-day casual wear, rather than high-performance athletic activities like running.
How should I clean the suede upper?
For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.
Are New Balance 991v2 shoes true to size?
New Balance 991v2 shoes generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These New Balance 991v2 sneakers are meticulously made in New Balance's factory in Flimby, United Kingdom, ensuring high standards of craftsmanship.
What kind of support do these shoes offer?
The 991v2 offers premium foot support through its advanced cushioning system, combining a full-length FuelCell midsole with ABZORB SBS pods for excellent shock absorption and comfort during prolonged wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoes are durable, the suede material is sensitive to water. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray for protection and avoiding heavy rain to preserve the material's quality.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp, clean cloth, then brush.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a short break-in period. You can also try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or wear thinner socks.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath, and then reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to external friction points like worn treads or shoe parts rubbing against each other which may need professional assessment.
Water stains on suede
If the shoes get wet, blot excess water immediately with a clean towel. Allow them to air dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture. For prevention, use a water and stain repellent spray regularly.

These shoes require no complex setup; simply lace them up and adjust for a comfortable fit. They are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire, from denim and chinos to athletic-inspired looks. For care, it is crucial to understand the nuances of suede. We recommend treating the suede upper with a protective spray before initial wear to guard against water and stains. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or specialized cleaner can be applied sparingly. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the suede and adhesives. Regular brushing helps maintain the shoe's appearance and prolong its life.
