FAQs

Where are the New Balance 991v1 trainers made?

These trainers are proudly made in the United Kingdom at the New Balance Flimby factory.

Are these shoes suitable for intense gym workouts?

While comfortable for walking and casual use, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance gym shoes.

Does the 991v1 have good arch support?

Yes, the ABZORB midsole provides significant support that is beneficial for all-day comfort.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the premium leather and the structure of the shoe. Only use surface-level spot cleaning.

Are the reflective details visible in the dark?

Yes, the 991v1 includes reflective elements specifically designed to improve visibility in low-light environments.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

Natural creasing is expected with high-quality leather. Use shoe trees when not in use to minimize deep set wrinkles.

Difficulty cleaning textured surfaces

Use a soft brush in circular motions to dislodge debris from the debossed crocodile-print patterns.

Midsole feels stiff initially

The ABZORB technology may require a short break-in period of 3-5 wears to fully conform to your foot strike pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality leather build offers superior durability.
  • ABZORB midsole provides exceptional all-day comfort.
  • Distinctive crocodile-print aesthetic stands out from standard trainers.
  • Reflective accents add a functional safety element.
  • Authentic UK-made construction ensures premium quality control.

Cons

  • The specialized leather texture requires specific cleaning methods.
  • Limited to select sizing options.
  • Premium materials may feel more rigid than synthetic mesh alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 991v1 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the crocodile-print leather. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner approved for premium hides.
  2. Moisture Prevention: Avoid heavy exposure to water. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the leather upper.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit; consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to maintain comfort throughout the day.
