FAQs
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that provides a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact and offer a comfortable feel.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they incorporate running-inspired design elements and advanced cushioning, the ABZORB 2000 trainers are primarily intended for casual wear and light activity due to their construction and minimalist upper.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid washing machines or excessive water, as this can damage the suede.
What does 'SBS' in ABZORB SBS pods stand for?
SBS stands for Supplementary Bridge System, indicating these pods are designed to provide additional support and stability in specific areas of the midsole.
Is the sizing true to size?
The trainers are generally expected to fit true to the selected UK size. However, individual foot shapes can vary. Trying them on or checking customer reviews can provide further insight.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, the ABZORB 2000 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for adults regardless of gender.
What is the main design inspiration for this model?
The design is inspired by notable running shoes from the early 2000s, with a focus on making distinctive features and visible technology the focal point of the all-new style.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Laces can be adjusted for a more customized fit. For minor tightness, wearing the shoes for short periods can help them adapt to your foot.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For persistent marks, a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth (followed by air drying) may be necessary.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
The ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability, but responsiveness may decrease with extensive wear. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for casual wear and light activity.
