FAQs

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology from New Balance designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel, protecting joints during wear.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The New Balance 1890 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, urban activities, and light walking. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult the specific sizing guide provided by the retailer. Generally, UK sizes are based on foot length.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the product description indicates a unisex cut, meaning they are designed to fit comfortably on both male and female feet.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is a combination of high-quality textile and synthetic materials, with leather overlays, designed for lightweight comfort, ventilation, and durability.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. It is recommended to keep them in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and damage.

What is the inspiration behind the 1890 series?

The 1890 series is a modern reinterpretation of an iconic retro-runner model from the late 19th century, popularized in the 1980s, blending vintage aesthetics with contemporary technology.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing system to loosen or tighten specific areas. Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing them with appropriate socks.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ABZORB technology is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with prolonged heavy use. This is normal wear and tear. Ensure proper care to maximize lifespan.

Material creasing or wear

Minor creasing is normal with leather and synthetic materials. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when not worn. For wear and tear, consider professional shoe repair for significant damage.

Discoloration of yellow details

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean with a damp cloth as per care instructions. Do not use bleach or harsh spot removers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit.

Compatibility: The New Balance 1890 trainers are designed for general wear and light activities. They are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the textile and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash them with mild detergent and air dry.
