FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they are inspired by performance running silhouettes and feature ABZORB cushioning, they are optimized for everyday walking and casual wear rather than specialized competitive running.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

The New Balance 1890 follows standard sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the leather components and degrade the integrity of the ABZORB midsole. Always clean by hand.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the standard inserts are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.

Is the material waterproof?

The shoes are made of a mix of leather and mesh. While they are durable, they are not waterproof and may absorb moisture in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel stiff during the first wear

This is common with leather footwear. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and contour to your foot shape.

Midsole foam showing light creases

Creasing is a normal characteristic of performance-grade foam under compression. It does not indicate a defect in the cushioning properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent long-term comfort from ABZORB technology
  • Stylish, versatile aesthetic suitable for multiple settings
  • Solid construction with durable materials
  • Reliable traction on urban surfaces

Cons

  • Leather components may require a short break-in period
  • Limited colour options within the current series
  • Not intended for high-intensity competitive marathon running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your New Balance 1890s in peak condition, proper care is essential:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dust from the mesh and leather components.
  2. Leather Care: For the leather sections, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the material, as this can affect the leather's texture over time.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer or near a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can warp the foam midsole and damage the adhesive bonds.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the grey and silver accents.
