FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 992 generally runs true to size, though the leather upper may feel snug initially before relaxing.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature advanced cushioning, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
How do I keep the grey leather clean?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush to prevent dust build-up, and spot clean with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
New Balance is known for accommodating various widths, but please check your specific size and width availability for this model.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior features premium leather for both durability and a refined look.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon arrival
This is normal for premium leather; wear them consistently for short periods to break them in naturally.
Insole feels too firm
Allow for a 1-2 week break-in period as the cushioning compresses slightly to match your specific gait.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a clean cloth dampened with a mild soap solution, avoiding harsh detergents that could damage the leather.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place them near heat sources like radiators, as this can crack or warp the leather.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials and the grey pigment.
