FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The 991v2 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort and support for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running, which may require specialized athletic footwear.
How do I clean the orange mesh upper?
For the mesh upper, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the area and rinse the cloth to wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that the product has been manufactured in New Balance's facilities in the United Kingdom, indicating a commitment to established craftsmanship and quality standards.
How does the 'Vibrant Chroma' color scheme differ from other 991v2 models?
The 'Vibrant Chroma' colorway features a distinctive combination of red-tinged orange mesh and a glowing pure orange overlay, inspired by the contrast of fire and water. This is a unique execution compared to other colorways in the 991v2 line.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers are durable, suede is sensitive to moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede material and prevent staining.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for their intended purpose, these trainers are built to last. Lifespan can vary based on usage frequency, terrain, and adherence to care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Suede color appears faded after cleaning
This can sometimes happen with improper cleaning. Try using a dedicated suede cleaner or protector spray designed for colored suede. Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely and avoid excessive water.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
New balance trainers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and consider thicker or thinner socks as needed.
Laces get dirty easily
Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing the trainers.
