FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 992 generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the robust leather construction provides a structured fit.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive. Always hand-clean using recommended leather care products.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The 992 series is known for its accommodating, contoured fit, which often works well for a variety of foot shapes.
What does 'Made In USA' mean for this model?
It signifies that the footwear is manufactured in the United States with high attention to detail and premium materials.
Are these good for high-intensity gym workouts?
While they are comfortable and supportive, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance gym or technical running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff after first wear
Wear the shoes indoors with thicker socks for short sessions to gradually soften the leather materials.
Surface dirt accumulation on beige panels
Use a specialized suede or leather cleaning eraser to gently lift dirt without damaging the material surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking-In: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors before committing to long walks to allow the premium leather to contour to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh household detergents.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the beige tones.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a unisex fit profile, making them highly compatible with everything from denim jeans to casual chinos and joggers.
