Full details
The New Balance 992 in grey is an ideal choice for adults seeking a versatile, high-quality trainer that balances heritage design with modern comfort. Originally crafted for the brand's centennial, this silhouette is best known for its signature ABZORB stability technology, which provides exceptional joint protection during both athletic training and everyday walking.

FAQs
Is the New Balance 992 suitable for heavy running?
While the 992 is capable of athletic activity and features great impact absorption, it is categorized more as a stable, daily-wear trainer rather than a dedicated high-mileage performance racer.
How does the sizing run for the 992?
The 992 generally offers a true-to-size fit for most adult users, though the supportive leather construction provides a snugger feel than performance mesh shoes.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning foam blend used by New Balance that provides exceptional shock absorption to reduce impact forces on joints.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for your specific foot arch needs.
How do I best clean the grey leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a lightly dampened microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing brushes that could damage the texture of the leather.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be slightly looser across the bridge of the foot to allow for natural expansion during the day.
Creasing on the leather upper
This is a natural occurrence with premium leather. Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 stays in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For cleaning, wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can compromise the leather quality and the integrity of the adhesive. Given the precision engineering of the ABZORB unit, avoid exposing the sole to extreme chemicals. If the interior becomes damp, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry naturally to maintain hygiene and comfort.
