FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 991v2 features an ABZORB midsole designed for cushioning and shock absorption, making them comfortable for walking and daily wear. However, they are not specifically designed as performance running shoes.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart and measure your foot length. The UK 12 size is specified for this variant.

What is the main difference between the 991 and 991v2?

The 991v2 is an updated version of the classic 991, often featuring refined materials, updated cushioning technology (like advancements in ABZORB), and modern design tweaks while maintaining the core aesthetic.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the suede and mesh offer some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What does 'Made in the UK' signify?

It indicates that the product was manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, signifying a commitment to premium craftsmanship and quality standards.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Regular brushing after wear helps maintain the suede. Deep cleaning should be done as needed, typically when noticeable dirt or stains appear, to avoid over-processing the material.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product.

Laces wear out over time

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. New Balance offers replacement laces.

Reduced cushioning after extended use

While ABZORB is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with heavy wear. Ensure proper fit, as an incorrect size can exacerbate perceived cushioning loss.

Color transfer from darker clothing

This is uncommon but can happen with new, dark denim. Ensure clothing is washed separately initially. A suede protector may offer some barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, the UK 12 size ensures a specific fit. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions. Avoid water saturation.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh areas. Do not machine wash.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  4. Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
