FAQs

Are the New Balance 992 trainers suitable for wide feet?

The standard width is designed for a regular fit. For wider feet, it is recommended to check for available wide (2E) or extra-wide (4E) options if they exist for this specific model, or consider trying them on in person.

How do I clean the blue and purple fuchsia accents?

For the synthetic accents and leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede areas near the accents, use a suede brush and cleaner specific to suede to avoid damaging the adjacent materials.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Excessive exposure to rain or wet conditions can damage the suede and mesh materials. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the main difference between the 992 and other New Balance series like the 990?

The 992 is part of the legendary 990 series and specifically features the ABZORB cushioning system for superior shock absorption and comfort. It often incorporates updated design elements while maintaining the classic NB aesthetic.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and traction, suitable for everyday wear and moderate athletic activities. Longevity will depend on usage patterns and maintenance.

Is the sizing true to size?

Generally, the Made in USA 992 trainers are considered to run true to size for most customers. However, individual fit can vary based on foot shape and width.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, wear them around the house to allow the materials to break in. Consider using thinner socks.

Suede becoming matted or discolored

Avoid getting the suede excessively wet. Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Treat stains promptly with a suede-specific cleaner.

Soles showing wear

Rotate your footwear if possible to distribute wear. Regular cleaning of the outsole can prevent excessive abrasion from trapped grit.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While ABZORB is durable, its effect can diminish with extensive use. Consider the age and mileage of the shoes; replacement may be necessary after significant wear.

Cons

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to maintain shape and protect materials.
