FAQs
Are the New Balance 992s true to size?
Most users find the 992 fits true to standard New Balance sizing; however, since they are structured trainers, they offer a secure, firm fit.
Can I use these for running?
While the 992 has athletic origins, it is designed as a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for walking and daily wear rather than high-performance running.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
It is highly recommended to apply a professional-grade suede and nubuck water-repellent spray before the first wear.
What does Made in USA imply for this product?
The Made in USA label indicates that the product was manufactured in American facilities, often meeting higher quality control standards for materials and assembly.
How often should I clean the trainers?
Light cleaning after every few wears will prevent dirt buildup. A deep clean is typically only necessary every few months depending on usage.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dirt on suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently brush in one direction to lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when storing the sneakers to help the material retain its shape and reduce permanent creases.
Stains on the mesh upper
Spot clean the mesh using a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth, then air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature delicate suede components, they are not designed for machine washing, which can ruin the texture and shape of the leather. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede and mesh. For deeper cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and a microfiber cloth, applying minimal water to avoid saturation. Store your 992s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the grey tones. To maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use, consider using shoe trees or keeping the original packaging material inside.
