FAQs

Are New Balance 992s true to size?

Generally, New Balance 992s are considered to fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual sneaker size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a sizing guide.

Can I use these shoes for running or high-intensity workouts?

The New Balance 992 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, offering exceptional comfort and stability for everyday wear. While they have athletic heritage, they are not optimized for high-performance running or intense training. For such activities, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

What does 'Made in USA' mean for the quality of the shoe?

The 'Made in USA' designation for New Balance products typically signifies a commitment to premium craftsmanship, higher quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail in the manufacturing process. It often results in a more durable and well-constructed product.

How do I clean the mesh material on my 992s?

For mesh, you can gently clean with a soft brush or cloth dipped in a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as this can damage the mesh. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and air dry completely.

Are the 'N' logos truly reflective?

Yes, the iconic 'N' branding on the sides of the New Balance 992 features reflective material, which enhances visibility in low-light conditions, adding a functional safety element to the design.

What are ABZORB, ENCAP, and C-CAP cushioning technologies?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam material that provides superior shock absorption. ENCAP is a core of soft EVA cushioning in the midsole with a tough polyurethane rim for durability and support. C-CAP is a compression-molded EVA for lightweight cushioning and flexibility. Together, they deliver a balanced blend of comfort, stability, and support.

What is the best way to store my New Balance 992s?

Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. To help maintain their shape, you can insert shoe trees or crumpled acid-free paper inside when not wearing them.

Troubleshooting

My shoes are making a squeaking sound.

A common cause for squeaking can be friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the shoe's interior and the bottom of the insole, and then applying a light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch before reinserting. Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent internal movement.

The suede parts of my shoes look matted or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For dirt, use a suede eraser or a small amount of dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always allow suede to dry completely before brushing.

My feet feel excessively hot or sweaty.

While the mesh provides breathability, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). If the issue persists, ensure the shoes are properly aired out between wears and consider using a shoe deodorizer or foot powder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional all-day comfort due to ABZORB cushioning and padded collar.
  • Premium quality and durability from 'Made in USA' construction and robust materials (suede, leather, mesh).
  • Versatile and stylish design, easily integrated into various casual outfits.
  • Enhanced stability and support provided by the ENCAP and C-CAP midsole.
  • Increased visibility in low light through reflective 'N' branding.
  • Breathable mesh upper for improved air circulation.

Cons

  • Premium materials, especially suede, may require specific cleaning and care routines.
  • Not primarily designed for high-performance athletic activities, more suited for casual wear.
  • Info needed: Specific weight could be a consideration for some users.
  • The light grey colorway may show dirt and scuffs more easily than darker options, requiring more frequent cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your New Balance 992 sneakers come ready to wear. Simply unlace them to your desired looseness, slip your feet in, and lace them up for a secure, comfortable fit. The low padded collar ensures immediate comfort around the ankle.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed as a unisex adult footwear option, compatible with a wide range of casual attire. Their timeless grey aesthetic makes them easy to pair with jeans, chinos, shorts, or even more relaxed tailored trousers. They are suitable for general daily activities and urban environments.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 992 sneakers, follow these care tips:

  • Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the suede and mesh components using a soft-bristled brush.
  • Spot Cleaning: For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. For mesh and leather, a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) with a soft cloth can be used. Avoid saturating the materials.
  • Reflective Elements: Clean reflective 'N' branding gently with a damp cloth to avoid scratching or damaging the reflective surface.
  • Outsole: Wipe the corrugated rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain grip.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discoloration. Do not put them in a dryer.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for multi-material sneakers to add a layer of protection against the elements.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
