FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 991v2 trainers feature ABZORB cushioning, but they are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes. For dedicated running, specific running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the red and orange suede?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly, and always test on a hidden spot first. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that the product has been manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, indicating a high standard of craftsmanship and quality.

How does the 'Vibrant Chroma' colorway differ from other 991v2 models?

The 'Vibrant Chroma' pack features a distinctive color palette inspired by fire and water, using shades of red and orange. This makes it a bolder and more visually striking option compared to more subdued colorways.

What is the ABZORB midsole technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology by New Balance that absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel, enhancing comfort during wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What is the sizing like for the 991v2 trainers?

New Balance trainers generally offer a consistent fit. However, it is always recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart or try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or stained.

Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Apply sparingly and brush gently. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.

Ensure laces are the correct length and type for the shoe. Re-lacing them through the eyelets may help. Consider replacing worn-out laces.

Reduced cushioning over time.

The ABZORB midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can decrease with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not used for strenuous athletic activities which can accelerate wear.

Tread on the outsole is wearing down.

Inspect the outsole regularly. If significant wear is visible, it may be time to consider replacing the trainers, as traction will be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are best suited for individuals who appreciate a blend of athletic heritage and contemporary style.

Care Instructions:

  1. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on suede.
  2. Mesh and Synthetic Areas: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher marks, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  3. Lining and Insoles: Allow trainers to air dry naturally if they become damp. Remove insoles for separate airing if needed.
  4. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the tread.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
