FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 992 offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear and comfort, not for intense athletic running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult the size guide provided by the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand wash using appropriate cleaners as described in the care section.
What is the primary benefit of ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB cushioning provides superior shock absorption, dispersing impact forces to reduce stress on your feet and joints, enhancing overall comfort.
What does 'MIUSA' signify?
MIUSA stands for 'Made in USA', indicating that the shoe has been manufactured in one of New Balance's facilities in the United States, signifying a commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
How do I care for the leather upper?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains. Condition the leather periodically to keep it supple.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty details vary by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thicker socks initially to help break in the shoes. If discomfort persists, consider using moleskin or bandages on potential friction points.
Creasing on leather uppers
Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, use shoe trees to help maintain the shoe's shape when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
Traction seems poor
Check the outsole for embedded debris like stones or mud. Clean the sole with a brush or damp cloth. Ensure the rubber has not worn down significantly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Suede/Nubuck Areas: If present, use a suede brush to maintain texture and remove surface dirt. Protect with a suede protector spray.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately. Allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box, away from direct sunlight.
