New Balance 991v2 - Grey, Suede, UK 5

While the 991 series has a heritage in running design and features advanced cushioning like FuelCell, ABZORB, and ENCAP, the 991v2 is primarily designed as a premium lifestyle and everyday comfort sneaker rather than a high-performance running shoe.

'Made in UK' indicates that the shoes are manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, UK. This label is associated with exceptional craftsmanship, premium materials, and a higher standard of quality control.

For pigskin suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. Avoid water, as it can stain the material. After cleaning, you may reapply a suede protector spray.

FuelCell is a high-rebound midsole foam developed by New Balance designed to deliver a propulsive feel and maximum energy return, providing an ultra-cushioned and responsive experience.

ABZORB SBS pods are strategically placed cushioning components designed for optimal shock absorption. ENCAP technology combines a soft EVA core with a durable polyurethane rim, offering enhanced support and durability along with cushioning.

Due to the pigskin suede upper, it is advisable to avoid heavy wet weather conditions as water can stain or damage suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and follow suede care instructions.

New Balance shoes typically run true to size. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are unsure, it is always best to try them on or consult a New Balance sizing guide.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser. Consider using a suede protector spray regularly.

While FuelCell, ABZORB, and ENCAP are durable, consistent heavy use can compress cushioning. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended lifestyle purpose. Replacing insoles with new ones can also refresh the feel.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear, ideally in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles occasionally to help them dry. Using shoe deodorizers or stuffing them with cedar shoe trees can also help absorb moisture and odors.
