FAQs
Are the New Balance 1890 trainers waterproof?
No, they feature a linen and textile upper, which is breathable rather than waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
While they utilize retro running DNA, they are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-impact athletic performance.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance to absorb shock.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The 1890 series typically runs true to standard sizing; if you prefer a looser fit or thick socks, consider a half-size up.
How should I clean the rubber outsole?
You can clean the rubber outsole using a damp cloth and mild soap to remove scuffs and debris.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Consider a double knot or replacing with flat cotton laces for increased friction.
Surface stains on the linen upper
Spot clean gently with a dedicated fabric cleaner designed for organic textiles; avoid saturating the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, proper maintenance is essential, especially given the linen upper material.
- Setup: Upon arrival, ensure the lace tension is adjusted to match your arch height for optimal comfort.
- Cleaning: For the linen sections, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that may stain the fabric. If wet cleaning is necessary, use a mild soap and cold water, patting rather than scrubbing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the yellow finish.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for standard adult feet, but consider pairing them with mid-weight socks for the best balance of breathability and fit.
