FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 991v2 offers excellent cushioning and support for walking and daily wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's specialized running models.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, which typically includes measurements in centimeters or inches that can be compared to your foot length. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

What is the primary inspiration for the 'Vibrant Chroma' colorway?

The 'Vibrant Chroma' colorway is inspired by the elemental contrast of fire and water, featuring a deep blue mesh upper with glowing pure blue suede overlays.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the premium materials, construction, and cushioning technology of the trainers.

How long does the ABZORB midsole last?

The durability of the ABZORB midsole depends on usage frequency and intensity. With regular daily wear and proper care, it should maintain its cushioning properties for a considerable period, but specific lifespan varies per user.

Do the reflective details actually work?

Yes, the reflective details are designed to catch and reflect light sources, such as headlights, increasing your visibility in low-light or dark conditions.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or between the tongue and laces.

Discomfort in the arch or heel

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotics for additional support if needed, after a proper break-in period.

Dirt or stains on suede material

Use a dedicated suede eraser or a soft-bristled suede brush. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions carefully.

Care:

  • Suede Overlays: Gently brush suede areas with a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution if necessary. Ensure the shoe is air-dried away from direct heat.
