FAQs

What is Abzorb Technology?

Abzorb is a specialized technology developed by New Balance that provides excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during activity.

Are these shoes good for running marathons?

The 992 is excellent for general running and everyday wear due to its cushioning and support. For professional marathon running, specialized racing shoes might offer lighter weight and different performance characteristics.

How do I determine my UK shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. Generally, UK sizes are listed separately from US or EU sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the suede and leather offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, or use a waterproofing spray.

What is the difference between the 990 and 992 series?

The 990 series is New Balance's flagship line known for its blend of support, cushioning, and classic design. The 992 is a specific model within this lineage, often praised for its specific cushioning advancements like the Encap and Abzorb technologies introduced in that iteration.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick brush-off after use can help. Deep cleaning should be done as needed when visible dirt accumulates or the materials require refreshing.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If it persists, check for any loose parts or consider applying talcum powder under the insole.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoe feels too tight, consider loosening the laces. For persistent rubbing, ensure the shoe is the correct size and width.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides, but generally, a suede eraser or mild cleaning solution can be used cautiously.
