FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 992 features ABZORB cushioning, which provides excellent shock absorption, making them comfortable for walking and everyday wear. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than specialized running shoes.
How do I determine my correct size?
Please refer to the New Balance sizing chart available online or in-store. Measure your foot length and compare it to the UK adult foot size provided for this model. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede and mesh.
What is the main difference between the different colorways?
The primary difference between colorways is the aesthetic and the specific accents used. The core construction, materials, and technology (like ABZORB cushioning) remain consistent across the series.
How often should I clean my 992 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage and environmental conditions. Regular light brushing of the suede can help maintain appearance, while deeper cleaning should be performed when visible dirt or stains accumulate.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?
'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the value of this shoe is of US origin. It reflects New Balance's long-standing commitment to manufacturing in the United States, often associated with higher quality standards and craftsmanship.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar size and shape.
Troubleshooting
Uneven cushioning or discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type.
Suede material scuffing or staining
Address stains immediately with a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
Laces wearing out
Replace laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress on the eyelets.
Reduced comfort over time
Check for wear and tear in the sole and cushioning. While durable, cushioning can degrade with prolonged heavy use. Consider professional shoe cleaning to refresh materials.

- Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage suede.
- Cleaning Mesh: Gently wipe mesh areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry naturally.
- Cleaning Soles: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to clean the rubber soles.
