FAQs

Are the New Balance 992 trainers suitable for running?

While the 992 offers excellent cushioning and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday trainer, not a specialized running shoe. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's running-specific models.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot accurately. The 992 generally runs true to size, but individual fit can vary. Consider your sock thickness when determining your size.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The suede material is not water-resistant. While the trainers can be worn in light drizzle, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. Using a water and stain protector spray can offer some protection.

What makes the 'Made in USA' designation significant?

'Made in USA' signifies New Balance's commitment to manufacturing in the United States, often associated with higher quality materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and ethical production standards.

How often should I clean my 992 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular light cleaning will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.

What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?

With proper care and regular wear, the New Balance 992 trainers are built for durability and can last for several years. Factors like frequency of use, terrain, and maintenance routine will influence their longevity.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush and eraser for dry dirt and light stains. For persistent stains, consult a professional cleaner or test a mild cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks initially if a snug fit is preferred.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Try a double knot when lacing. Ensure the laces are not overly worn; consider replacing them if they are frayed or slippery.

Reduced cushioning feel over time.

The ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability, but its feel can subtly change. Ensure the shoe is clean and dry, as moisture can affect material performance. Regular wear can also contribute to a 'broken-in' feel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede.
