FAQs
Is the New Balance 992 true to size?
Yes, the 992 model generally runs true to size. If you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.
Can these be used for running?
While the 992 features supportive cushioning, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer rather than a high-performance long-distance running shoe.
How should I remove minor scuffs?
Use a clean pencil eraser or a dedicated suede eraser to gently rub away surface-level scuffs on the suede panels.
What does the USA embroidery indicate?
The 'USA' embroidery indicates that the shoe was assembled in the United States, utilizing a high percentage of domestic materials.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the factory insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or replace them.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material in a single direction.
Water spots on leather overlays
Blot with a clean, dry cloth immediately; allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Difficulty maintaining color vibrancy
Use a color-safe suede renovator or cleaner specifically formulated for multi-material footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Treat the suede areas with a reputable water and stain repellent spray immediately after unboxing.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt gently. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather and suede materials.
- Lace Maintenance: If the signature yellow laces become soiled, hand-wash them separately in lukewarm soapy water and let them air dry completely before re-lacing.
