FAQs

What does 'MiUSA' stand for?

'MiUSA' stands for 'Made in USA,' indicating that this specific New Balance model was crafted in one of New Balance's manufacturing facilities within the United States, signifying a commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

How do I properly clean the suede and mesh upper?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. For mesh, a soft cloth with mild soap and water is recommended. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for running or intense athletic activities?

The New Balance 992 is designed for everyday comfort, style, and general casual wear. While it offers excellent cushioning and support, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities where specialized athletic shoes would be more appropriate.

What is ABZORB midsole technology?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption through a blend of foam cushioning and compression set resistance. It helps reduce impact and enhance comfort.

Does the chunky sole affect the shoe's weight?

While the chunky sole unit contributes to the shoe's distinctive aesthetic and stability, New Balance incorporates lightweight cushioning materials like ENCAP and C-CAP to help manage overall weight, ensuring comfortable wear without feeling overly bulky.

Are the reflective accents truly functional?

Yes, the reflective accents incorporated into the design are functional. They are intended to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, adding a safety benefit for wearers while also contributing to the shoe's aesthetic appeal.

What is the general fit of the New Balance 992?

The New Balance 992 typically offers a comfortable, true-to-size fit for most wearers. It provides a secure feel without being overly restrictive, accommodating a range of foot shapes due to its well-structured upper.

Troubleshooting

Suede material appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, always testing on a small, hidden area first.

Shoes feel less supportive or cushioned over time.

The cushioning technologies are designed for long-term wear, but like all footwear, they have a lifespan. Consider replacing the shoes if significant wear is evident or if comfort diminishes substantially.

Reflective accents have lost their shine or appear dull.

Gently clean the reflective areas with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing which could damage the reflective coating.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.

Remove insoles if possible and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (remove before wearing).
