New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers - Brown/Blue - Size 9.5

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel, helping to reduce the impact on your feet.

The ABZORB 2000 trainers offer great cushioning for daily wear and comfort. However, they are inspired by running shoes and not specifically engineered for high-performance, long-distance competitive running.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials and maintain comfort.

The design is inspired by distinctive features of notable 2000s running-inspired classics, reimagining them into a new, progressive, and experimental style with a focus on visible technology.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions.

This can sometimes occur with new cushioning. Try walking on different surfaces. If it persists, check if the insole is slightly loose and reseat it, or try a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole.

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly.

Depending on the material, use appropriate cleaners. For general dirt, a damp cloth is best. For suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
