Full details

The New Balance 1890 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of early 2000s sport style and modern comfort. The key benefit is the ABZORB midsole cushioning, which provides excellent shock absorption for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that the sizing is based on UK standards. These trainers feature a technical slate grey design with breathable mesh panels, pigskin leather overlays, and a durable rubber outsole, making them a versatile choice for sustained comfort and support.

FAQs

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology by New Balance that absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the 1890 is primarily designed for everyday comfort and support. For high-performance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the pigskin leather parts?

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is a combination of breathable mesh, durable synthetic materials, and premium pigskin leather overlays.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoes are sized using UK standards. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the New Balance UK sizing chart. The lace-up closure allows for some adjustment.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The trainers offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. The breathable mesh can allow moisture in, and the rubber outsole's grip may be reduced on wet surfaces. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.

What is the main color of these trainers?

The primary color is slate grey, with cream laces providing a contrasting accent. The midsole is typically white, and the outsole is rubber-colored.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consult a size chart if unsure.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ABZORB cushioning is durable, its effectiveness may decrease with prolonged heavy use. Proper care and avoiding excessive impact can help prolong its life. Consider replacing shoes after significant wear.

Discoloration on leather overlays

Use specialized leather cleaners or a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole offers good traction, but grip on very wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
