FAQs
Is the New Balance 992 suitable for running?
While it features performance-inspired cushioning, the 992 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking sneaker, not for high-intensity running.
Does the New Balance 992 run true to size?
Most users find the 992 fits true to standard size; however, the structured construction may feel snug for those with wider feet.
How do I maintain the grey color?
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. Using a protective spray safe for leather can help repel dirt and stains.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes made of real leather?
Yes, the New Balance 992 features high-quality leather construction as part of its premium design.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight out of the box.
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. The 992 features a structured leather build that will gradually loosen and mold to your foot shape after a few days of wear.
Leather surface shows scuff marks.
Use a suede or leather eraser to gently buff out surface scuffs. Ensure you use the correct product specific to the texture of the leather.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality leather materials ensure long-lasting wear.
- Exceptional midsole cushioning for all-day comfort.
- Versatile design suitable for various occasions.
- Reliable support for daily walking and light activity.
Cons
- Requires a break-in period for the leather and midsole to feel perfectly adapted.
- Limited to a specific aesthetic that may not suit those looking for ultra-lightweight performance shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 remains in top condition, follow these recommendations:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather and midsole to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner approved for athletic footwear.
- Moisture Prevention: Avoid machine washing or drying. If the shoes get wet, remove the insoles and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent leather cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the grey coloring.
