FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 991v2 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort for everyday activities. While they provide good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running like dedicated running shoes.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Gently brush suede with a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always following the product instructions and testing on a small area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in the UK, adhering to stringent quality standards and craftsmanship associated with the brand's premium footwear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, suede is not ideal for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to preserve the material's condition. Consider using a suede protector spray for added resistance.
What is the 'Retro Pop' theme?
The 'Retro Pop' theme refers to the color palette and design inspiration, which combines nostalgic elements with a fresh, modern aesthetic. For this model, it's expressed through soft pinks, subtle greys, and contrasting color accents.
How does the ENCAP midsole work?
The ENCAP midsole combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim, providing all-day cushioning and support. It's designed to offer a balance of comfort and stability for everyday wear.
Are there other colorways available for the 991v2?
Yes, the 991v2 model is available in various colorways. Please refer to the product listings for the specific color options and availability, as different color families and secondary colors exist.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly. Compare with the brand's size chart. If between sizes, consider the next size up for more room or if wearing thicker socks.
Suede appears stained or dirty
Allow the area to dry completely. Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow instructions precisely. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
The ENCAP midsole provides long-lasting cushioning, but natural wear can occur. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance. For significant degradation, replacement may be necessary.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can sometimes occur with new suede products, especially in damp conditions. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protector spray, testing it first on an inconspicuous area.
