FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not intended for long-distance running or high-intensity training.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Wipe them down after every use with a damp cloth and use a dedicated sneaker cleaner for deeper stains. Avoid using harsh household chemicals.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The New Balance ABZORB series generally follows standard sizing, though the leather upper may have a slightly more structured feel than mesh alternatives.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles in this model are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary benefit of ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a superior cushioning material that provides maximum shock absorption to minimize the impact force transferred to your joints.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long periods of wear
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot or ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing
Use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for white sneakers to gently buff out minor surface marks.
Inner sole feels less responsive
Check if the factory insole has shifted; if it has degraded significantly after long-term use, consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your New Balance trainers involves simple, consistent maintenance. For the initial fit, ensure you lace the shoes snugly to accommodate your foot shape without restricting blood flow.
Care Instructions:
- Spot Clean: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dirt from the leather surface.
- Air Dry: Always allow shoes to dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack or warp the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light stains and moisture.
