Full details
The New Balance 992 is a premium lifestyle sneaker designed for adults who prioritize a blend of heritage aesthetic and modern cushioning. Featuring the iconic ABZORB-equipped midsole, this shoe provides superior impact absorption and all-day comfort, making it an excellent choice for daily wear or casual walking. While it excels in support and durability thanks to its high-quality mesh and overlay construction, users should note that the specialized cushioning system requires a brief break-in period to reach optimal flexibility.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 992s true to size?
Yes, most users find that the 992 fits true to standard sizing, though the structure provides a slightly more secure, snug feel than minimal trainers.
Can I use these for running?
While the 992 is very comfortable, it is designed as a lifestyle and walking shoe. It is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running or high-intensity interval training.
How do I keep the white mesh clean?
Prevention is key; use a water-repellent spray designed for sneakers to create a barrier against liquids and dirt.
What is the ABZORB midsole?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam blend that maximizes impact absorption while dispersing energy away from the foot, providing a softer landing.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 992 generally offers a accommodating fit, but New Balance often provides specific wide-width versions for certain models if extra volume is needed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The ABZORB unit is dense for stability; wear the sneakers for a few days to allow the foam to break in and conform to your foot.
Surface dirt on the mesh
Use a dry, soft brush to flick away surface debris before it settles into the weave of the fabric.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and overlays.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and material integrity.
- Drying: Always air dry away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent yellowing of the white components.
