FAQs
Are New Balance 992 trainers suitable for running?

How should I clean the suede panels?
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft eraser. Avoid using excessive water as it can damage the texture of the suede.
Is this model unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 992 is designed as a unisex silhouette, accommodating a wide range of foot shapes.
What does 'Made in USA' mean for these shoes?
It signifies that the shoes are manufactured in the United States, utilizing premium materials and high standards of craftsmanship.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance 992 models are generally considered to run true to size, though personal preference for fit may vary.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt in one direction. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with suede and leather materials; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider a double-knot for a more secure fit during active days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look and feel, consider the following:
