FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they utilize running-inspired technology like the ABZORB midsole, they are primarily lifestyle trainers intended for daily wear rather than technical long-distance running.

How do I ensure I pick the right size?

These models follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you typically wear in other New Balance or athletic footwear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the integrity of the adhesive. Stick to surface cleaning methods.

Is the material waterproof?

The suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray to provide a layer of protection against light splashes.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 1890 series is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of foot shapes.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or debris on suede

Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a dry suede brush to gently remove the loose particles.

Squeaking sounds while walking

Remove the insole, clean any trapped debris underneath, and ensure it is placed back correctly.

Loss of cushioning feel

Ensure you are using the original insole; replace with aftermarket orthotics if you require custom arch support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent long-term cushioning from the ABZORB technology
  • High-quality suede construction provides a premium feel
  • Versatile design bridges the gap between technical sport and casual wear
  • Stable rubber outsole offers great ground contact and confidence
  • Classic White and Grey palette is easy to style

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to staining in wet weather
  • Light colourway shows dirt more quickly than darker models
  • Not intended for heavy-duty trail running or technical hiking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK adult shoe size; the unisex sizing provides a standard fit consistent with the broader New Balance range.

Care instructions are critical due to the suede upper:

  1. Prevention: Apply a dedicated suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time to create a barrier against moisture and light dirt.
  2. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dry dirt or dust from the surface. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
  3. Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, consult professional leather and suede care products.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
