Full details

The New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of progressive style and familiar comfort. Their key benefit lies in the advanced ABZORB sole unit, which offers superior cushioning and compression resistance for all-day wear. A potential caveat is their utilitarian aesthetic, which may not suit all fashion preferences.

FAQs

What makes the ABZORB 2010 different from other New Balance trainers?

The ABZORB 2010 features a distinct segmented ABZORB sole unit with expanded proportions, a design inspired by popular 2000s models, combined with a utilitarian aesthetic featuring ripstop uppers and hiker laces.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the ABZORB technology offers excellent cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For intense running, a shoe specifically engineered for performance running would be more appropriate.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length accurately. These trainers are unisex, so consult the chart for UK sizing. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The ripstop upper offers some resistance to moisture, but the trainers are not fully waterproof. They can handle light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended without additional waterproofing treatment.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Please refer to the retailer's or New Balance's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

How should I store the trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur due to the sole rubbing against the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both it and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe can also help.

Stiff laces

If the hiker laces feel stiff, they can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and air-dried. For a softer feel, consider applying a small amount of leather conditioner (ensure it's safe for fabric laces) or replacing them with a preferred lace type.

Discoloration on nubuck panels

Nubuck can be sensitive. Use a specialized nubuck cleaner or a dry brush to remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid using water directly on nubuck areas.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent cushioning and shock absorption due to ABZORB technology.
  • Durable construction suitable for everyday use.
  • Unique design that blends retro and modern elements.
  • Comfortable for extended periods of wear.
  • Versatile style that can be dressed up or down.

Cons

  • Utilitarian design might not appeal to everyone.
  • Laces may require occasional tightening.
  • Ripstop material, while durable, might not be as breathable as mesh alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and wear.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult unisex wear. They pair well with a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and shorts to athleisure wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the ripstop, nubuck, and synthetic panels. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, especially on the nubuck.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: The ABZORB sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  3. Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed separately. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.
  4. Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
