FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Abzorb 2000 trainers feature advanced cushioning for comfort and impact absorption, making them suitable for general running and everyday use. However, they are not specifically designed as elite marathon racing shoes, which typically offer specialized features for long-distance performance.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, which typically aligns UK sizes with corresponding foot measurements. It's also helpful to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
Yes, the Abzorb 2000 trainers usually have a removable insole, allowing space for custom orthotics or specialized insoles for added support.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB technology is designed to provide a combination of cushioning and crush-resistance, which helps to absorb shock and provide a responsive feel underfoot, reducing the impact on your feet and joints.
How do I clean the leather and polyester parts of the trainers?
For leather, use a soft cloth with a specialized leather cleaner. For polyester, spot clean with mild soap and water. Always allow the trainers to air dry completely away from heat.
Is the sizing for men and women the same?
These trainers are designed with a unisex fit. While the overall design is for both genders, it's important to select your appropriate UK size based on standard unisex sizing conventions or refer to specific gendered sizing if provided by the retailer.
What does the 'minimalist-influenced upper design' mean?
This refers to an upper construction that is streamlined and free from excessive overlays or complex patterns. It focuses on clean lines and often uses fewer materials to achieve a modern, uncluttered aesthetic that emphasizes the shoe's sole technology.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a grippier material if slipping is a persistent issue.
Slight stiffness on first wear
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time as they conform to your foot.
Discomfort in the arch area
While the ABZORB cushioning offers support, some users may benefit from adding aftermarket insoles for personalized arch support. Ensure the size is correct, as an incorrect fit can cause discomfort.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur if moisture gets trapped between sole layers. Try applying talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole. If the issue persists, it might indicate a manufacturing defect.
