FAQs

Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers suitable for running?

While the ABZORB midsole offers good cushioning for walking and light activities, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-impact running.

How do I determine my UK size for these trainers?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or compare with other UK-sized footwear you own. The size listed (e.g., UK 8.5) corresponds to standard UK adult foot sizing.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and midsole cushioning, and compromise the shoe's structure.

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that the shoe has been manufactured in New Balance's factories in the United Kingdom, often associated with higher quality materials and craftsmanship.

How do the 'Retro Pop' color accents affect styling?

The color pops offer a playful contrast to the tonal palette, allowing for versatile styling. They can add a subtle accent to neutral outfits or complement similarly colored accessories.

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, distributing impact forces to enhance comfort and reduce stress on the feet and legs during wear.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This is more common with darker suede colors. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing, and consider using a suede protector spray.

Reduced cushioning over time

The ABZORB midsole may lose some responsiveness with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong its effectiveness.

Difficulty cleaning suede material

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior comfort due to ABZORB midsole technology.
  • Durable construction with a blend of suede, mesh, and synthetic materials.
  • Versatile design suitable for both casual and athletic-inspired outfits.
  • Distinctive 'Retro Pop' color accents add a unique style element.
  • High-quality craftsmanship associated with 'Made in UK' products.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • Suede material can be susceptible to water damage and staining.
  • Higher price point compared to non-premium trainer lines.
  • Color pops might not suit all minimalist styling preferences.
  • Reflective details, while functional, are subtle and not overtly prominent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. To care for your 991v2 trainers, avoid excessive moisture and direct sunlight, which can damage the suede and mesh. For cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and a slightly damp cloth for stains. For deeper cleaning, consider a specialized suede cleaner and protectant spray to maintain the material's condition and color. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
