FAQs

What does 'Made in UK' signify for these trainers?

'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, highlighting a commitment to premium craftsmanship and heritage.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic training?

While comfortable and supportive, the 991v2 "Retro Pop" are primarily lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for rigorous athletic training.

How does the "Retro Pop" colorway differ from other 991v2 models?

The "Retro Pop" colorway offers a specific palette inspired by bubblegum pop, featuring a sophisticated blend of tonal pinks with contrasting grey and possibly silver accents, distinct from other available color combinations.

What materials are used in the construction?

These trainers are constructed from a premium blend of pigskin, mesh, and synthetic materials, offering a balance of durability, breathability, and aesthetic appeal.

Can I wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and specialized cleaners for materials like suede is the preferred method for maintenance.

What is the typical fit of the 991v2 model?

The 991v2 generally offers a comfortable, true-to-size fit, characteristic of New Balance's focus on wearability. However, individual fit can vary.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the texture. For stubborn marks, consult a suede cleaning guide for appropriate spot treatments.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.

Color transfer from accent colors

This is rare with quality manufacturing but can occur in extreme damp conditions. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing with light-colored socks. Limited products are subject to color transfer issues.
