FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance that absorbs shock and provides a responsive feel, enhancing comfort during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 992 offers good cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for comfort and casual wear, not for high-performance running.

How should I clean the blue and purple leather?

Use a damp cloth and a soft brush for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly. Always allow to air dry.

What does 'MIUSA' stand for?

MIUSA stands for 'Made in the United States of America', indicating the manufacturing origin of the product.

Can I wear these trainers without socks?

While possible, wearing socks is generally recommended for comfort, hygiene, and to prevent potential friction or rubbing, especially with leather materials.

What other sizes are available?

This model is available in various UK adult sizes. Please check product listings for specific size availability.

What is the warranty on New Balance trainers?

New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official New Balance website or your retailer for specific warranty terms and duration.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try the trainers on at the end of the day when feet may be slightly swollen. Consult the New Balance sizing chart for precise measurements.

Leather creasing excessively

Natural leather will crease with wear. To minimize this, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to maintain shape.

Reduced cushioning over time

The ABZORB cushioning is designed for longevity, but natural wear will occur. For significant loss of cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement.

Slight color variations

Color variations can occur due to the natural properties of leather and the dyeing process. This is normal and part of the shoe's character.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior comfort due to ABZORB cushioning.
  • Durable construction with quality leather and rubber components.
  • Timeless design that blends sporty heritage with refined style.
  • Versatile for casual wear and light athletic activities.
  • Made in the USA, suggesting a high standard of manufacturing.

Cons

  • The specific blue and purple colorway might be polarizing for some.
  • Leather requires some maintenance to keep it in good condition.
  • May be priced higher than non-heritage or non-MIUSA trainers.
  • Not designed for high-performance athletic training; primarily lifestyle focused.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet, typically worn with socks. Sizing is provided in UK adult foot sizes.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks on leather, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning Midsole/Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. A soft brush can be used for textured areas like the corrugated outsole.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  4. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the leather components.
