FAQs

Are the New Balance 992 suitable for running marathons?

The 992 features heritage running design elements and ABZORB cushioning, making them comfortable for daily wear and light training. However, they are not specifically designed as high-performance marathon shoes and may lack the advanced features of modern racing footwear.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?

Use a suede brush for the suede and a damp cloth for the mesh. Avoid machine washing. For stubborn stains, use specialized cleaners and test in an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?

'Made in USA' denotes that at least 70% of the shoe's value is manufactured and assembled in the United States, reflecting a commitment to domestic production and quality craftsmanship.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials, especially the suede.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact and offering a comfortable, responsive feel.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, the New Balance 992 series is known to run true to size for most customers. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Medium-weight athletic socks or breathable cotton blend socks are generally recommended for comfort and moisture management.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specific suede cleaner.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While ABZORB is durable, prolonged heavy use can lessen its responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are not overused for high-impact activities beyond their intended design.

Color transfer from blue/purple accents

This is rare but can occur if the shoes get excessively wet. Ensure they are kept dry and allow to air dry completely if they do get damp. Protect lighter-colored socks from potential color rub-off.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Mesh: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Midsoles: Clean with a soft brush and mild soap if necessary.
  • General: Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
