FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 991v1 offers comfort and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers inspired by running aesthetics, not for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length from heel to toe. It is recommended to check customer reviews for specific fit notes on this model.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the premium materials like nubuck and leather, and compromise the shoe's structure.

What is the warranty period for Made in UK products?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official New Balance website or your purchase receipt for specific warranty details.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Regular cleaning after wear, especially for the nubuck and leather, will help maintain their appearance and longevity. Deep cleaning is recommended as needed.

What is the difference between 991v1 and other 991 versions?

The 'v1' designation often refers to the original or an early iteration of the 991 model. Subsequent versions might have updated cushioning, materials, or slight design modifications. The core DNA of premium craftsmanship remains.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have measured your foot correctly and are referencing the UK sizing chart. Consider trying on in-store if possible or check reviews for fit feedback.

Nubuck material looks dirty

Use a dedicated nubuck brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a nubuck cleaner sparingly.

Leather parts are scuffed

For minor scuffs, a slightly damp cloth may help. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish suitable for the shoe's color may be applied carefully.

Sole feels stiff initially

New Balance trainers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the sole to flex and conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. They are designed for immediate wear.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult men. The size 7.5 UK is specified, but other sizes are available within the 991v1 series.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Nubuck: Use a soft brush or a specialized nubuck cleaner to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously, followed by air drying away from direct heat.
  2. Cleaning Leather: Wipe down leather components with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash or machine wash in a delicate cycle bag.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or original box to maintain shape and protect materials.
