FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

While the ABZORB cushioning provides excellent comfort for shorter runs and training, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with running shoe heritage. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized running shoes might offer more targeted performance features.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or consult the specific size guide for this model. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

The trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically for suede and leather.

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

The 992 is an evolution within the legendary 990 series, often featuring updated cushioning technology (like ABZORB in the heel and forefoot) and distinct design elements while maintaining a similar commitment to quality and comfort.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Regular brushing after wear helps maintain the suede. Deep cleaning should be done as needed when visible dirt or stains appear, rather than on a strict schedule.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

It indicates that the trainers have been manufactured in one of New Balance's factories in the United States, signifying a commitment to quality craftsmanship and domestic production.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try loosening the laces slightly or ensuring the insoles are properly seated.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the texture and color. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner may be needed.

Traction seems reduced

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Inspect for excessive wear; if significant wear is present, consider replacement.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult unisex wear. They are designed for individuals who value comfort and classic style in their footwear. Compatibility with specific orthotics or insoles can be assessed based on individual needs, but the standard footbed provides ample support.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Suede Care: Utilize a suede eraser for scuffs and a suede brush to restore the nap. For protection, consider applying a suede protector spray.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape during drying.
