FAQs
Are the New Balance 992 true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to check the specific UK size guide before purchase.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can severely damage the suede material and compromise the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Is the New Balance 992 suitable for heavy exercise?
While durable and comfortable, the 992 is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer rather than a dedicated high-performance running shoe.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Pat them dry with a clean cloth immediately and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Yes, the 992 series is known for its supportive midsole design which offers substantial comfort for most wearers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a circular motion.
Surface dust and light debris
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush to gently wipe down the upper after each wear.
Minor scuffs on suede
Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser to buff out the mark without damaging the material fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your New Balance 992 involves proper fit selection and routine upkeep. Ensure you verify your UK sizing as these models follow a standard adult fit. When it comes to care, do not machine wash your trainers. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution, applying it sparingly. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
