FAQs

How do I clean my New Balance 992 sneakers effectively?

For suede, use a suede brush and specialized cleaner. For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat. Refer to the 'Care' section above for detailed steps.

Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities like running?

The New Balance 992 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While it offers excellent comfort and stability for everyday walking, it is not optimized for high-performance athletic activities like running.

What does "Made in USA" signify for these sneakers?

The "Made in USA" designation indicates that these shoes are manufactured in the United States, often using domestic and imported materials, and are associated with a high standard of craftsmanship and quality control.

How does the ABZORB & ENCAP Midsole technology work?

ABZORB is a foam material that provides excellent shock absorption. ENCAP combines a soft EVA core with a tough polyurethane rim for lightweight support and durability. Together, they offer a balanced blend of cushioning and stability.

Is the sizing for the U992GY true to size?

New Balance 992 models are generally considered to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by foot shape. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a New Balance size chart.

What is NDurance rubber and what are its benefits?

NDurance is a highly durable rubber compound used in the outsole of New Balance shoes. Its primary benefit is providing enhanced durability in high-wear areas, extending the lifespan of the sneaker and offering reliable traction.

Can I wear my New Balance 992s in wet weather?

While the NDurance outsole offers good traction, the mesh upper and suede overlays are not fully waterproof. Wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to your feet getting wet and could potentially damage the suede material. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or discoloured.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh upper is soiled or stained.

Mix a small amount of mild soap with cold water. Use a soft cloth or brush to gently clean the mesh in small sections. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and air dry completely.

Shoes feel less supportive over time.

Ensure laces are tied securely to provide optimal foot lockdown. While the cushioning is durable, if the shoes are very old, excessive wear can diminish support. Consider if they are due for replacement.

Reflective 'N' logo appears dull.

Gently wipe the logo with a soft, clean, damp cloth to remove any dust or grime that might be obscuring its reflective properties.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your 992s:

  • Cleaning the Mesh Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap solution and cold water. Gently scrub in small circular motions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning Suede Overlays: Suede is delicate. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water, which can stain or damage suede.
  • Outsole: Wipe the NDurance rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discoloration.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray to help repel water and stains, particularly for the suede components.
