FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

While the 992 offers excellent cushioning, they are best suited for casual running and everyday wear rather than high-mileage, competitive marathon training. For such activities, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.

What is Abzorb technology?

Abzorb is New Balance's proprietary technology designed to provide superior shock absorption and cushioning, reducing impact on the feet and joints.

How do I determine my UK shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart available on their official website or consult with a retailer for accurate measurement. The product information lists the size in UK adult foot sizing.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While the rubber outsole offers some grip, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

What is the difference between the 990 series and the 992?

The 992 is an evolution within the legendary 990 series, featuring updated technologies like enhanced Abzorb cushioning and specific design elements while maintaining the core commitment to comfort and quality.

What materials are used in the New Balance 992?

The trainers primarily use a mesh upper with suede and leather overlays for durability and a premium look. They also feature Abzorb cushioning and an Encap midsole, with a rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness or discomfort

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure the correct size is selected.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces wear out or break

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
