New Balance 991v2 Made in UK - Purple - 10 UK

While the 991v2 incorporates advanced FuelCell and ENCAP cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for daily wear and casual, active use. For dedicated running, New Balance offers other models specifically engineered for high-performance athletic activities.

'Made in UK' indicates that the shoes are meticulously crafted in New Balance's Flimby factory in the United Kingdom. This hallmark confirms a commitment to premium quality, skilled craftsmanship, and ethical manufacturing standards.

For suede, it's best to use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner and eraser can be used. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks.

Suede and leather materials are sensitive to water and can be damaged or stained by rain. It is advisable to avoid wearing your 991v2s in heavy wet conditions. For light moisture protection, consider treating them with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray designed for suede and leather.

To maintain comfort, ensure you allow your shoes to air out between wears. If you use them frequently, rotating between a few pairs of shoes can also help the cushioning systems recover. While durable, all cushioning will eventually show signs of compression with extensive use.

The unique 'Essentially Offbeat' palette with purple, brown, and green accents works wonderfully with neutral tones like beige, grey, and black to let the shoes stand out. They also complement denim and earthy-toned chinos for a sophisticated yet casual look.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, then brush.

While the FuelCell and ENCAP cushioning are durable, prolonged wear can compress insoles. Consider replacing the original insoles with new, supportive ones. If the outsole shows significant wear, it might be time to consider a new pair.

Ensure the reflective elements are clean and free of dirt or dust accumulation. Gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to restore their reflective properties.

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air dry. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odours.
