FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the New Balance 992 offers excellent cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear trainers. For dedicated running, a specialized running shoe would be more appropriate.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart, especially considering the "Made In USA" sizing nuances.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as this can damage the material. A suede protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are best reserved for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the product's packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details and duration.
How does the "Made In USA" designation affect the shoe?
The "Made In USA" label signifies that at least 70% of the value of the shoe is from domestic materials and labor, reflecting New Balance's commitment to domestic manufacturing and quality craftsmanship.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics or alternative insoles for personalized comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Suede color appears uneven after cleaning
Allow the suede to dry completely. Brush gently with a suede brush in one direction to restore its nap and even out the color. Light, consistent strokes are key.
Laces feel too long or too short
Laces can be replaced with standard shoelaces. Measure your old laces or consult online guides for appropriate lengths based on the number of eyelets.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. Some smooth surfaces may naturally offer less grip; consider consulting a cobbler for alternative sole options if persistent issues arise.
Felt a slight pinch or discomfort on first wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure socks are appropriate for the shoe fit.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
