FAQs
Are the New Balance 991v2 trainers waterproof?
No, they are made of premium leather and are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to apply a leather-safe water repellent spray.
Can I use these shoes for running?
While they provide great comfort, the 991v2 is primarily a lifestyle trainer and is not optimized for high-performance athletic running.
What is the best way to clean the croc leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the texture of the leather.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK adult sizing, but individual fit can vary based on foot width.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
This model is proudly crafted in the United Kingdom.
How often should I clean my 991v2s?
A quick wipe-down after every few wears will prevent dirt buildup and help maintain the appearance of the croc leather.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shoe shape and reduce natural creasing.
Slight discomfort during break-in
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for the first few days to allow the leather and cushioning to mold to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning the cream sole
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to gently scrub the sidewalls without saturating the leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 991v2 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines. For fit, these are designed as standard adult sizing; always ensure you have a thumb-width of space in the toe box for optimal comfort. To care for the leather, wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust. Use a specialized leather protector spray to guard against minor moisture and staining. For the cream laces, remove them periodically to hand-wash in mild soap if they lose their brightness. Keep the shoes stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or discoloring.
