Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth to gently wipe the area, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Creasing in the toe box area

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 992 stays in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, apply a mild detergent diluted in water with a cloth; avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a tumble dryer or direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing over time.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with the shoe's materials to create a barrier against daily grime.
