FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers true to size?
Generally, the 991v2 models are considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, it's always recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, especially given the different materials used in the upper.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The leather and suede components can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'Made in England' signify for this product?
'Made in England' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's Flimby factory in the UK, renowned for producing premium footwear with meticulous craftsmanship and high-quality materials.
What is the main difference between the 991 and 991v2 models?
The 991v2 typically features updated cushioning technology (like ENCAP and ABZORB) for enhanced comfort and a slightly refined silhouette compared to the original 991.
Is the brown colorway suitable for all seasons?
The 'Pinecone' brown color is versatile but particularly suited for autumn and winter. It can also be incorporated into spring wardrobes for a stylish contrast.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try airing the shoes out thoroughly or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.
Discoloration of midsole
The yellowed midsole is a design feature intended to give a vintage look. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could alter the intended coloration.
