FAQs
What material are the New Balance 991v2 'Red Black Grey' trainers made of?
These trainers primarily feature leather material for the upper, providing durability and a classic look.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
The New Balance 991v2 trainers are designed for everyday wear, comfort, and light activities. They are not specialized for high-intensity athletic training.
How should I clean my leather trainers?
Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
What does '991v2' signify?
The '991v2' designation indicates that this model is an iteration within the New Balance 991 series, representing an updated version with potential enhancements to design or technology while retaining core characteristics.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and consider your previous New Balance purchases, as sizing can sometimes vary slightly between models. It's recommended to measure your foot if unsure.
What is the closure type for these trainers?
These trainers feature a secure lacing closure system, allowing for adjustable fit and comfort.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While leather offers some resistance, they are not waterproof. For wet conditions, it's advisable to use a water-repellent spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Laces become difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and are not tangled. Consider replacing worn-out laces.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or on the insole. If it persists, check for loose components or contact customer support.
Color transfer from trainers to socks
This is more common with darker dyed materials, especially when new and damp. It should reduce over time. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.
