FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Abzorb cushioning?

The Abzorb cushioning is designed to absorb shock, providing enhanced comfort and reducing the impact on your feet during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they offer comfort for daily wear, the New Balance 1000 trainers are primarily designed as retro lifestyle shoes and are not intended for high-impact athletic performance like dedicated running shoes.

How should I clean the purple leather upper?

Wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for colored leather, testing it on a small area first.

What is the material of the shoe?

The upper is primarily made of leather, with black mesh accents.

What does the "Plum" colorway refer to?

The "Plum" colorway indicates the primary dark purple color of the leather upper.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a comfortable amount of space at the toe, the heel does not slip, and the shoe does not feel too tight or constricting around the width or top of your foot.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather products. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Consider using shoe trees for storage.

Discoloration on the leather

Use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for the color of the shoe. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Mesh appears dirty or scuffed

Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap and water. For scuffs, a magic eraser can be used with extreme caution on the rubber parts, but avoid the mesh.

Reduced cushioning comfort over time

The Abzorb cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. Ensure proper fit as the cushioning's effectiveness is tied to the shoe's overall support.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and smudges. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Cleaning the Mesh Accents: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the mesh.
  • Midsole Care: Wipe the Abzorb midsole with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
