New Balance 992 - Black - UK 7

The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that these sneakers are produced with a commitment to quality and craftsmanship in New Balance factories within the United States, often using premium materials and adhering to high manufacturing standards.

The New Balance 992 generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

While the 992 features advanced cushioning technologies for comfort, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and walking, not for high-performance running or specialized sports activities.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for minor marks. For mesh, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

The New Balance 992 incorporates a combination of ENCAP and C-CAP technologies in the midsole for stability and cushioning, along with ABZORB cushioning in the heel and forefoot for superior impact absorption.

Yes, the NDurance rubber outsole is specifically engineered for maximum durability and provides reliable traction, making the shoe suitable for regular use on various everyday surfaces.

The premium suede and mesh upper is not inherently waterproof. While light rain may be tolerated, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended and can potentially damage the materials. Consider using a protective spray for water resistance.

The premium materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet. Ensure you're wearing appropriate sock thickness.

For suede, gently use a suede eraser or brush to lift scuffs. For leather, a soft, damp cloth can remove light marks. For deeper scuffs or stains, use a cleaner specific to the material type (suede cleaner or leather conditioner) and follow product instructions.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a thin layer of foot powder underneath it before reinserting. Ensure laces are not overly tight.

If shoes get wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Once dry, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside to absorb lingering odors.
