FAQs

What is FuelCell cushioning?

FuelCell is a high-rebound foam developed by New Balance, designed to deliver exceptional energy return and a propulsive feel, providing superior cushioning and comfort.

What does ABZORB SBS mean?

ABZORB SBS is a non-cellular foam material that provides optimal cushioning and compression set resistance, often strategically placed in the midsole to enhance stability and absorb impact effectively.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the original 991 was a performance running shoe, the 991v2, with its premium materials and focus on craftsmanship, is primarily designed as a high-quality lifestyle sneaker offering excellent comfort for everyday wear, rather than for competitive running.

How do I clean the pigskin suede?

To clean pigskin suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals, and always air dry.

What does 'Made in UK' signify for New Balance shoes?

The 'Made in UK' designation means the shoes are crafted in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, using premium materials and expert craftsmanship, representing a commitment to high quality and traditional manufacturing processes.

Is the 991v2 true to size?

New Balance 991v2 generally fits true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly per person, so it's always recommended to try them on or refer to New Balance's size guide if uncertain.

What are the key differences between the 991 and 991v2?

The 991v2 is an evolution of the original 991. Key upgrades include a full-length FuelCell midsole for enhanced cushioning, refined aesthetic details, and subtle functional improvements while retaining the iconic silhouette and premium Made in UK craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more customized fit. Allow for a brief break-in period if they are new.

Lack of traction on wet surfaces

While the rubber sole provides good traction, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Regularly check the sole for wear and tear.

Odor develops in shoes

Ensure proper ventilation after wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing packets.

  • Cleaning Mesh: A mild soap solution and a soft cloth can be used to gently wipe down mesh areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
