Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992s remain in top condition, it is essential to treat them correctly from the start. Since the upper is constructed from suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. Avoid exposing the trainers to heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture of the suede. If the shoes become dirty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can permanently damage the midsole foam and the suede material. For deep cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
