FAQs

How do I determine my size?

New Balance shoes typically run true to size, but it's always best to refer to a New Balance size chart and measure your foot. This specific model is UK Size 10.5.

Are these suitable for running or intense sports?

While comfortable, the New Balance 1000 M1000BBV are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers. For dedicated running or high-impact sports, we recommend specialized New Balance performance footwear.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially due to the suede material. This can damage the materials and adhesives. Follow the manual care instructions for suede cleaning.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides excellent cushioning and absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, enhancing comfort and reducing stress on your feet.

How often should I clean the suede?

Clean the suede as needed to remove dirt and maintain its appearance. Regular light brushing is good for maintenance, with deeper cleaning performed when stains or significant dirt appear.

Is the Stability Web removable?

The Stability Web is an integrated part of the shoe's sole construction and is not designed to be removable. It provides essential midfoot support and stability.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet weather. While a protective spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to prevent water damage and staining to the suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in small, circular motions or in one direction to lift the fibers.

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Verify you have the correct size (e.g., UK 10.5). Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit. Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses.

Unpleasant odor developing

Remove insoles and air out trainers after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure they are fully dry before storage.

Slight squeaking sound while walking

Check if the insoles are properly seated. Sometimes, a little baby powder under the insole can reduce friction causing the squeak.

Minor scuffs or marks on suede

Gently rub with a suede eraser (specific for suede and nubuck) or a clean pencil eraser. Follow up with a suede brush.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede New Balance 1000 trainers, follow these care instructions:

  • Suede Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Stain Removal: For more stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  • Water Protection: Suede is susceptible to water damage. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  • Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Avoid crushing them to maintain their shape.
