FAQs
Are the New Balance 992 shoes true to size?
Generally, the 992 fits true to standard New Balance sizing, though some users prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet.
Can I use these for running?
While supportive, the 992 is designed primarily as a lifestyle and walking shoe; it is not recommended for high-intensity distance running.
What materials are used in the upper?
The New Balance 992 typically utilizes a combination of premium suede and breathable mesh panels for durability and comfort.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush. Avoid liquid cleaners unless they are specifically designed for suede.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 992 is designed as a unisex model, though sizing is typically listed based on standard UK or US adult men's sizing scales.
Troubleshooting
Material shows white dusty residue
This is often surface dust on suede; use a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the nap of the material.
Foot feels slightly cramped
Try thinner socks to allow for more interior volume, or ensure the laces are loosened significantly through all eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are heritage-style leather and suede trainers, they require minimal setup other than finding your correct size. To maintain the appearance of the black and grey aesthetic, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt after wear. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather components. If the sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking or warping.
