FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers suitable for running?
While the ABZORB midsole provides excellent cushioning, the 991v2 are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers, not specialized running shoes. They are suitable for walking and light activities but may lack the specific support features for intense running.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the mesh areas and rinse the cloth to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that the product has undergone manufacturing in New Balance's factories in the United Kingdom, often indicating a higher standard of craftsmanship and premium materials.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers are not waterproof. The suede and mesh materials are not designed to repel water, and excessive exposure to moisture can damage them.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage and environmental conditions. For regular wear, a light brushing of suede and wiping down of other materials weekly or bi-weekly can help maintain their appearance.
What is the ABZORB midsole technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology used by New Balance that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Laces become worn or dirty
Replace laces with new ones of similar length and material. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild detergent.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ABZORB midsole is durable, significant wear can reduce its effectiveness. Consider replacing the shoes if comfort is greatly diminished after extensive use.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. For significant wear, consider professional inspection or replacement if the tread is significantly worn down.
