FAQs

What is Cordura and why is it used in these shoes?

Cordura is a brand of fabric technology known for its exceptional durability and resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs. In these shoes, it provides a weather-resistant, tough upper that helps protect your feet from the elements and extends the lifespan of the sneaker.

Are the New Balance 1000 Cordura shoes waterproof?

The Cordura ripstop material is water-repellent, meaning it will effectively resist light rain and splashes, keeping your feet dry in damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion or heavy rain.

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on suede, as it can cause stains or damage. Consider using a suede protective spray to prevent future stains.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that offers superior shock absorption and cushioning. It provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, delivering a soft yet responsive feel and enhancing overall comfort during wear.

Do these shoes run true to size?

New Balance shoes generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on or consulting a New Balance sizing chart if you are unsure of your typical UK size.

Can these shoes be worn in all seasons?

Thanks to the durable and water-repellent Cordura, these shoes are suitable for most seasons, particularly spring, autumn, and mild winter days. The weather-resistant features make them less susceptible to adverse conditions compared to traditional sneakers, but they are not insulated for extreme cold.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps to restore its texture and appearance.

Water spots on suede

Allow the suede to dry naturally. Once dry, lightly dampen a clean cloth with distilled water and gently rub the entire affected area to create an even dampness, then allow to air dry again. Finish by brushing the nap.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. The materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Care Instructions:

  1. General Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (a dry toothbrush works well for crevices). For surface stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water.
  2. Cordura Material: Using a cloth dampened with the detergent solution, gently wipe the Cordura ripstop sections. Avoid saturating the material. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue.
  3. Suede Overlays: Suede requires special attention. For light marks, use a specific suede brush to lift the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals directly on the suede, as this can cause discoloration or damage. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use to help repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity and color.
