FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the ABZORB midsole offers excellent cushioning, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For dedicated running, a specialized running shoe would be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart or try on a pair in-store if possible. These trainers generally run true to size for a standard fit.

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, adhering to stringent quality standards and using premium materials.

How do I clean the reflective details?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the reflective material.

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

The pack is inspired by the elemental contrast of fire and water, reflected in the color palette and material choices that blend deep blues with subtle, vibrant accents.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, especially for the suede components. Consider using a water-repellent spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

This is normal for premium suede and engineered mesh. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The ABZORB midsole will also adapt to your foot shape over time.

Color transfer from suede

Ensure suede is properly treated and conditioned. In damp conditions, there might be a slight risk of color transfer. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks on the first few wears, especially in wet weather.

Traction feels inadequate on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like most trainers, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Cleaning Mesh: A damp cloth with mild soap can be used to clean the mesh areas. Allow to air dry completely.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with soap and water.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
