FAQs
What makes the New Balance 992 'Made in USA' special?
The 'Made in USA' designation signifies that these sneakers are crafted by skilled American workers in New Balance's US factories, upholding a legacy of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Are the New Balance 992 suitable for running or sports?
While the 992 incorporates advanced cushioning technologies, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. For serious running or athletic activities, New Balance offers other models specifically engineered for those purposes.
How do I ensure the suede material lasts?
Regular cleaning with a suede brush, using a suede protectant spray, and avoiding prolonged exposure to water or harsh conditions are key steps to preserving the longevity and appearance of the suede.
Is the New Balance 992 true to size?
New Balance 992s generally fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide if you are unsure.
What is the benefit of ABZORB, ENCAP, and C-CAP cushioning?
This combination of technologies provides a multi-layered cushioning system. ABZORB offers excellent shock absorption, while ENCAP and C-CAP midsoles combine soft EVA foam with a durable polyurethane rim for both cushioning and stability, ensuring all-day comfort and support.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the Ndurance outsole provides good grip, the suede upper is not naturally waterproof. We advise avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions, or using a high-quality water-repellent spray specifically for suede to offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or discolored.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit, following the product instructions carefully.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. The shoe may also require a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated; sometimes a loose insole can cause squeaking. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole can also help. If the squeak persists, ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
Outsoles seem to lack grip.
Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones. Accumulation of foreign material can reduce traction. Ensure they are dry before use.
Foot odor.
Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help prevent odor buildup.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks. For deeper cleaning, specialized suede cleaning solutions are recommended.
- Regular Maintenance: Wipe down the rubber outsole and midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to keep them clean. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protectant spray to repel water and stains, extending the life and appearance of your sneakers.
- Storage: Store your New Balance 992s in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
