FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the New Balance 2010 is inspired by 2000s running technology and features ABZORB cushioning for comfort, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, not a dedicated high-performance running shoe for intense athletic training.
How should I clean the yellowed midsole?
The yellowed appearance of the midsole is an intentional design feature to achieve a vintage look. You can clean it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt, but avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that might alter its intended aged finish.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper features a combination of sporty mesh for breathability, hairy suede for textural depth and premium feel, and leather panelling (specifically 'Taupe Grey') for durability and support.
How do New Balance 2010 sneakers generally fit?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. It's recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, you might consider going up half a size. Our specific model is UK 10.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
Due to the suede and mesh materials, these sneakers are not considered water-resistant. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be limited to prevent damage. Using a water-repellent spray designed for suede and mixed materials can offer some protection.
What does ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB cushioning is a New Balance technology designed to absorb impact and dissipate energy through a combination of foam and rubber. In the 2010, it provides exceptional shock absorption and a comfortable, cushioned feel, enhancing wearability for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, a suede cleaner can be applied following product instructions.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
These shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath it. If the sound persists, check the outsole for trapped debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your New Balance 2010 Sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred snugness. The design incorporates a standard lacing system for a secure and adjustable fit. You may find a slight break-in period is beneficial to allow the materials to conform to your foot's unique shape for optimal comfort.
Compatibility
These sneakers are designed as a lifestyle shoe and are highly compatible with various casual and smart-casual outfits. They are ideal for:
- Daily wear and urban exploration
- Social gatherings and casual events
- Light walking and commuting
While inspired by running technology, the 2010 is not intended as a dedicated performance running shoe for intense athletic activities. Its robust construction and cushioning are optimized for sustained comfort in everyday settings.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 2010 Sneakers:
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher spots, wipe with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
- Suede Areas: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede cleaner can be used cautiously. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear to guard against water and stains.
- Mesh Areas: Gently clean mesh with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid vigorous scrubbing that could damage the mesh fibers.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole and midsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. The yellowed effect on the midsole is intentional and part of the shoe's aesthetic; avoid harsh chemicals that could alter this finish.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
