FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a 2001 running silhouette, the 991v2 is now primarily positioned as a lifestyle and daily-wear trainer.

How do I choose the correct size?

The New Balance 991v2 typically fits true to size. Use your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the leather and adhesive components. Always clean by hand.

What is the primary difference between the original 991 and the v2?

The v2 features upgraded FuelCell cushioning and refined aesthetic details while maintaining the iconic shape of the original.

Are these shoes made in the UK?

Yes, the 991v2 is part of the New Balance 'Made in the UK' line, ensuring high manufacturing standards.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Natural creasing is expected with high-quality leather. Use cedar shoe trees to help the leather recover its shape and minimize deep lines.

Difficulty cleaning light-coloured sections

Use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth rather than submerging the shoe in water.

Laces slipping during wear

Ensure you are using a secure knot or double-knotting; replace with factory-length laces if the originals become frayed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional underfoot comfort provided by FuelCell technology
  • Durable construction suitable for daily urban use
  • Classic, versatile aesthetic that pairs well with casual outfits
  • Includes reflective accents for added safety

Cons

  • Leather material is more sensitive to moisture than synthetic alternatives
  • Requires break-in time to achieve optimal comfort
  • Higher maintenance requirements to keep the upper looking clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the 991v2 is crafted from premium leather, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan. For initial setup, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the structure is designed for a true-to-size fit. To maintain the leather:

  1. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris after each use.
  2. Apply a leather-specific protector spray before your first wear to repel moisture and stains.
  3. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
  4. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the trainers maintain their shape.
