For mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.

While the 992 has a classic running aesthetic and utilizes advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed for daily wear and casual use, offering comfort and style. For dedicated high-performance running, New Balance offers other specialized models.

ENCAP is a core of soft EVA foam in the midsole with a tough polyurethane rim, providing support and durability. ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam material that cushions and absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance.

NDurance is a highly durable rubber compound used in the outsole areas that experience the most wear. It provides maximum durability and enhances traction, extending the life of the shoe.

New Balance 992 trainers typically fit true to size. It's recommended to consult the official New Balance size chart or compare with a pair of New Balance trainers you already own. If possible, trying them on in person is always the best option.

No, machine washing is not recommended for New Balance 992 trainers, especially due to the suede and leather components. It can damage the materials, alter the shoe's structure, and potentially cause colors to bleed. Always hand clean them following the care instructions.

Ensure your laces are not too tight or too loose; adjust for optimal fit. While the 992s offer excellent cushioning, for specific foot concerns, consider consulting a podiatrist for custom insoles.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub away dirt and restore the texture of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh cleaners on suede as it can damage the material.

Remove the insoles and allow them to air out overnight. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles, letting it sit for a few hours before shaking it out. Shoe deodorizers are also an effective solution.

Regularly inspect the NDurance outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread patterns with a stiff brush and water to ensure maximum traction. If wear is significant, consider if replacement is necessary.
