New Balance 992 Trainers - Grey - UK 10

While the 992s offer excellent cushioning and comfort, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specific performance running shoe lines that are engineered for high-impact activities.

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam and compression set featuring superior damping and compression resistance. It is strategically placed in the heel and forefoot of the 992s to absorb the impact of strikes and provide a cushioned, comfortable feel.

For general cleaning, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Scrub the rubber outsole with a brush. Always air dry your trainers completely away from direct heat to prevent damage.

New Balance 992s generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you have wider feet or are between sizes.

The New Balance 992 Trainers are not waterproof. While the NDurance outsole provides good traction, the mesh and synthetic upper are not designed to withstand heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. We recommend avoiding wet weather to preserve their condition.

NDurance is a highly durable rubber compound used in the outsole areas of New Balance footwear that experience high wear. It is designed to provide maximum durability and extend the life of the trainer by resisting abrasion and offering reliable traction.

First, re-check your lacing; ensure it's not too tight over the instep. Consider trying different lacing techniques (e.g., skip an eyelet) or thinner socks. Allow for a short break-in period, as the materials may conform to your foot over time.

Ensure you are wearing breathable socks, preferably moisture-wicking. After each wear, remove the insoles and allow the trainers to air out completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight (vacuum out before wearing).

Regularly clean the NDurance outsole to remove dirt, mud, and debris that can accumulate in the tread and reduce grip. Use a stiff brush and mild soapy water, then rinse and air dry.

Address stains promptly. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild, diluted detergent and cold water. Gently blot the stain, rather than rubbing, to avoid spreading it. Rinse the area with a clean damp cloth and air dry.
