FAQs

What makes the ABZORB 2000 different from other New Balance trainers?

The ABZORB 2000 distinguishes itself with a progressive, experimental design inspired by early 2000s running shoes, featuring a unique full-length ABZORB cushioning system with visible SBS pods.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While they offer excellent cushioning for comfort, the Abzorb 2000 is primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes are recommended.

How should I clean the green mesh upper?

Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the mesh. Avoid soaking or using harsh detergents. Allow to air dry completely.

What does 'ABZORB' cushioning mean?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel, enhancing comfort and reducing strain.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not ideal for heavy rain. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.

What is the purpose of the synthetic overlays?

The glossy synthetic overlays provide structural support to the mesh upper, enhancing durability and contributing to the shoe's distinctive aesthetic.

Is this a unisex model?

This specific listing is for adult males, indicated by the UK size 8. However, New Balance often releases similar styles in unisex sizing, so please check other available variants if needed.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, consider if the shoe requires a short break-in period. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.

Color transfer from mesh or overlays

This is rare but can occur with new dyes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet. Clean gently with a damp cloth if transfer occurs.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

ABZORB cushioning may feel less responsive after extensive use. Regular cleaning and allowing the shoes to air out can help maintain their properties. Consider replacement after significant wear.

Reflective details losing reflectivity

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on reflective areas. If reflectivity diminishes, it may be due to wear and tear over time.
