FAQs
Is the New Balance 992 true to size?
Yes, the 992 generally follows standard sizing, though the structure is supportive and may feel snug initially.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer great comfort, the 992 is designed as a daily wear lifestyle sneaker rather than a performance running shoe.
How do I maintain the leather material?
Use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
What makes the 992 series different?
The 992 is distinguished by its specific midsole cushioning and heritage construction that prioritizes comfort and durability.
Can I use custom insoles with this shoe?
Yes, the factory insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are they waterproof?
The leather construction provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of high-quality leather; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.
Inner lining feeling tight after long use
Ensure you are using the correct UK size and check that the laces are adjusted to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992s remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
- Compatibility: These sneakers are highly versatile and pair well with denim, chinos, or athletic wear, making them a staple for any casual adult wardrobe.
