FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 992 is designed for casual wear and light athletic activities; it is not recommended for long-distance or high-intensity professional running.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a suede-specific brush or eraser. Avoid water, as it can cause the material to stiffen or change color.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning system that provides superior shock absorption by displacing impact energy.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but individual fit preferences may vary based on foot width.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Are the materials sustainable?
The shoe uses traditional materials including premium suede and mesh; please refer to the specific product label for the most current material sourcing information.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or debris on mesh
Use a soft dry brush to gently sweep away loose particles from the mesh fibers.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush to restore the texture and remove surface marks.
Sole feels stiff after storage
The ABZORB material may need a short 'break-in' period if unused for a long time; simply walking for a few hours will restore the intended flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 Grey remains in peak condition, proper care is essential. Given the suede construction, it is highly recommended to apply a water-repellent spray before the first use. Clean the mesh and leather components using a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris; avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the glue and suede texture. When choosing your size, remember that the 992 follows standard adult UK sizing; if you typically require extra room for insoles, ensure your specific variant accommodates those needs.
