FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance foams to absorb impact and dissipate energy, providing superior comfort and support.
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the Abzorb 2010 is inspired by 2000s running technology and offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and daily comfort, not for performance running.
How do I clean the mixed material upper (suede, mesh, leather)?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply specialized suede cleaner to suede sections and a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to mesh and leather. Always spot test first and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
What does being part of the 'Grey Days' collection mean?
The 'Grey Days' collection celebrates New Balance's iconic use of the color grey. It often features special editions or unique takes on classic and new models, emphasizing premium materials and the brand's heritage.
Is the yellowed midsole an intentional design feature?
Yes, the yellowed midsole is an intentional design element, contributing to the sneaker's vintage and aged aesthetic, drawing inspiration from retro footwear trends.
Are New Balance Abzorb 2010 sneakers true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. It's recommended to purchase your usual sneaker size. If you are unsure, referring to a New Balance size chart and measuring your foot can provide the best accuracy.
What is the translucent TPU midfoot shank for?
The translucent TPU midfoot shank provides critical support and stability to the arch area of your foot, helping to prevent excessive twisting and enhancing overall structural integrity during movement.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insoles are properly seated or if there's any debris trapped underneath. Sometimes, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can resolve friction-related squeaks.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot,' which offers better retention. Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear
While the Abzorb cushioning is excellent, individual foot types vary. Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider trying aftermarket insoles for additional arch support or cushioning tailored to your needs.
Stains on mesh upper
Gently clean the stained area with a soft cloth or brush using a mild soap diluted in water or a dedicated mesh cleaner. Blot, do not rub, and allow to air dry.

Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance Abzorb 2010 Sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For mesh and suede sections, gently spot clean with a soft brush or cloth and a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for these materials. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Leather Panels: Wipe leather sections with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then dry thoroughly.
- Deep Cleaning: For overall cleaning, use a dedicated sneaker cleaning kit. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
