For dry dirt, use a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution and a soft cloth, following the product instructions carefully. Always allow them to air dry.

No, the New Balance 992 Suede is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality water and stain repellent spray designed for suede to add a layer of protection against moisture.

The `ENCAP` and `C-CAP` midsole combination provides a superior blend of soft cushioning and firm support, enhancing overall comfort and stability for daily wear.

`ABZORB SBS` is a cushioning technology designed to absorb impact and dissipate energy effectively, offering excellent shock absorption and comfort underfoot.

While the 992 offers excellent comfort and support, it is primarily designed for casual wear and walking. For high-performance athletic activities, New Balance offers other models specifically engineered for those purposes.

To prevent fading, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Regular cleaning and application of a UV-protective suede spray can also help maintain the color.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in a consistent direction for an even finish.

Once dry, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. For water spots, a light application of distilled water and blotting can sometimes help, followed by brushing.

While the `ENCAP`, `C-CAP`, and `ABZORB SBS` technologies are durable, regular wear can compact insoles. Consider replacing the stock insoles with new ones for renewed cushioning and support.

Ensure the Ndurance outsole is clean of debris or mud. If grip continues to be an issue on specific surfaces, verify the shoe is appropriate for that activity.
