FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 991v1 offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not for high-performance running. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the product sizing chart or measure your foot length and compare it with the provided UK sizing equivalents. For this specific model, it fits true to size for most wearers.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather construction offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the difference between the 991 and 991v1?
The 991v1 is an updated iteration of the classic 991, often featuring subtle design refinements or material updates while retaining the core aesthetic and comfort.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to dry conditions or heavy use, to maintain their flexibility and appearance.
Is the 'Made in UK' designation important?
Yes, the 'Made in UK' designation signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's UK factory, reflecting a commitment to premium quality, craftsmanship, and heritage.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the shoes are clean before applying.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn and could require professional inspection or replacement.
Creases forming on the leather
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use.
