FAQs
What makes the ABZORB cushioning special?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that provides a unique combination of soft, responsive feel and resistance to compression, absorbing shock effectively.
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and daily wear, the Mius 992 is not designed as a performance running shoe. It lacks the specific support and features required for high-impact running.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to New Balance's sizing chart and measure your foot. This model is listed as UK 8.5. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.
What does 'MIUSA' stand for?
MIUSA stands for 'Made in USA', indicating that a significant portion of the manufacturing process occurs within the United States.
How does the tonal design benefit styling?
A tonal design, like the all-black colorway, offers maximum versatility. It pairs easily with a wide range of colors and styles, from casual jeans to smarter casual attire.
What is the expected lifespan of these sneakers?
With proper care and regular use, these sneakers can last several years. Lifespan depends on frequency of wear, activity level, and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size and width are selected. Break in the shoes gradually. Check lacing for proper tension. Consider wearing thicker socks.
Loss of cushioning feel
ABZORB cushioning is designed for longevity but can diminish over years of heavy use. Gentle cleaning and proper storage can help preserve performance. Consider replacement if cushioning is significantly degraded.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between layers or a loose sole. Try to dry the shoes thoroughly. If the sound persists, it might indicate a more significant issue requiring professional inspection.
