FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 991v2 features ABZORB cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear and not for high-performance running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Gently brush away dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. It is best to avoid getting the suede wet.

What does 'Made in the UK' signify?

It indicates that the trainers have been manufactured in New Balance's factory in the UK, signifying a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and heritage production methods.

Do the reflective details work in all lighting conditions?

The reflective details are designed to enhance visibility when light sources (like headlights) shine on them in low-light conditions. They do not emit light themselves.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and the ABZORB midsole. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the inspiration behind the 'Vibrant Chroma' colorway?

The colorway is inspired by the elemental contrast of fire and water, featuring a deep, red-tinged orange mesh upper overlaid with a glowing shade of pure orange.

Are these trainers true to size?

New Balance trainers generally run true to size, but individual fit can vary. It is recommended to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth.

Mesh feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow for natural foot movement without excessive tightness. Wear with appropriate socks to minimize friction.

Traction feels reduced.

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any debris that may be hindering grip. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.

Reflective details are not visible.

Ensure the reflective elements are clean and free from dirt or scuffs. Their reflectivity is dependent on external light sources.
