FAQs
Is the New Balance 992 true to size?
Yes, most users find the 992 fits true to standard adult sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
Can I run in the New Balance 992?
While it features supportive cushioning, the 992 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking shoe, not for high-intensity running.
What materials are used in the 992?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, offering a durable and classic finish.
How should I clean the suede/leather combination?
Use a specialized soft brush for the leather parts and a dedicated leather cleaner for the smooth sections. Never put them in a washing machine.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 992 typically offers a standard width; however, the leather construction will gradually stretch slightly to accommodate the foot.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creasing.
Difficulty keeping the grey leather clean
Apply a water-repellent leather protectant spray before initial wear to prevent dirt and liquid stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 stays in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking-In: The leather may feel slightly stiff out of the box; wearing them for short periods over the first week will help them contour to your feet.
- Compatibility: The neutral design works well with denim, chinos, and athletic joggers.
- Care Instructions: Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For marks on the leather, use a professional leather cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent leather cracking.
