FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 992s offer excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and trainers for everyday wear and light athletic activities, rather than high-performance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart and measure your foot length. The 992s are designed for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box without the heel slipping.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning materials, as well as compromise the shoe's structure.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary by region and seller.
Is the blue and purple fuchsia color combination available in other models?
This specific colorway is a seasonal update for the 992 model. Other New Balance models may feature different color combinations.
How does the ABZORB cushioning feel?
ABZORB cushioning provides a responsive and supportive feel, absorbing impact without feeling overly soft or mushy. It aims to offer a balance of comfort and stability.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes, especially those with structured cushioning, can require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size and width have been selected.
Color transfer from suede
Ensure suede has been treated with a protective spray. If color transfer occurs, try to clean the affected area gently with a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
