Full details
The New Balance 992 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of classic aesthetic and high-level supportive comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 992 generally fits true to size, though the supportive structure provides a snug feel compared to performance-only runners.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush regularly and avoid getting the shoes wet to maintain the texture and color integrity.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While highly comfortable, the 992 series is better suited for walking, casual wear, and standing rather than high-mileage performance running.
What makes the ABZORB cushioning unique?
ABZORB is a proprietary blend of foam and compression set materials that provides superior shock absorption compared to standard EVA foam.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of tightness across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension by skipping the eyelets directly over the pressure point to allow more volume.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dry suede brush or a suede eraser to lift the nap and remove surface-level dust or scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short durations during the first week to allow the internal materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and fabric upper. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner rather than submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard foot shapes; those with custom orthotics may find that the factory insole can be removed to accommodate medical inserts.
