FAQs

What year was the original New Balance 1000 released?

The original New Balance 1000 trainers were released in 1999.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology designed to absorb shock and provide a comfortable, responsive feel in the heel and forefoot of the shoe.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning and support for general wear and light activity, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not for specialized high-performance running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It's recommended to check the New Balance size guide for UK adult footwear and measure your foot. Comparing your measurement to the provided sizing chart will help ensure a proper fit.

What are the primary materials used in the upper?

The upper is constructed using a combination of mesh underlays and prominent synthetic overlay panels.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the purpose of the Stability Web midfoot shank?

The Stability Web midfoot shank provides additional support and stability through the arch of the foot, enhancing the shoe's overall structure.

Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or discomfort

Verify the correct UK size has been selected. Consider using alternative insoles if minor adjustments are needed. Ensure laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose.

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur due to new materials. Try wearing them more to break them in. If persistent, ensure no debris is trapped in the sole patterns.

Discoloration on upper material

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: The New Balance 1000 is designed for general adult unisex wear. It is compatible with a wide range of casual apparel.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to clean the sole. Remove any caked-on dirt.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
