Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Made in USA 992 Trainers are designed for adults seeking superior comfort and classic style for both running and everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the responsive ABZorb cushioning and premium materials that ensure comfort all day long. A potential caveat is that the seasonal colorways, while stylish, might not match all wardrobes. These trainers blend heritage running design with modern technical features, offering a blend of suede, mesh, and leather overlays with durable rubber outsoles.

FAQs

Are the New Balance 992 suitable for wide feet?

The New Balance 992 is available in various widths. Check the specific product listing for width options, often denoted by letters like 'D' (standard) or '2E' (wide).

How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then rinse lightly and allow to air dry.

What is the main benefit of ABZorb technology?

ABZorb technology is designed to absorb shock in the heel and forefoot, providing superior cushioning and reducing the impact on your feet and joints.

Can these trainers be worn for intense athletic training?

While excellent for running and walking, the 992 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and everyday trainer. For highly specific or intense athletic training, specialized shoes may offer more targeted support.

How does the 'Made in USA' designation affect the shoe?

The 'Made in USA' tag signifies a commitment to quality manufacturing standards and often indicates the use of premium materials and construction techniques.

What is the difference between the suede and leather overlays?

The suede provides a soft, textured finish and contributes to the shoe's classic aesthetic, while the leather overlays offer structure, durability, and support to key areas of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to clean and restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to the product's instructions.

Shoe feels less cushioned over time

While ABZorb cushioning is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider if the shoes have reached the end of their typical lifespan for optimal performance.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive debris. Note that rubber outsoles, while offering good grip, can be less effective on extremely slick, wet surfaces regardless of the brand.
