FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

While the ABZORB cushioning offers excellent shock absorption, the ABZORB 2000 is primarily designed for comfort in everyday wear, casual activities, and light athletic use. For serious or long-distance running, New Balance offers models specifically engineered for those demands.

How do I clean my New Balance ABZORB 2000 trainers?

Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush for the outsole. Air dry at room temperature, avoiding direct heat or machine washing.

Are the reflective details functional?

Yes, the integrated `reflective details` are functional and designed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, adding a safety aspect to their unique style.

What is the primary benefit of ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning provides superior shock absorption, dispersing impact forces and delivering exceptional comfort, especially beneficial for prolonged standing or walking.

Do these trainers run true to size?

New Balance trainers generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. We recommend checking the New Balance sizing guide or trying them on if possible for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider ordering both to compare.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The `mesh upper` is breathable, which means it is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to water seeping through and making your feet wet. They are not designed for extreme wet weather.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. Lacing techniques can also affect comfort; try loosening the laces or adjusting them to better suit your foot width. Allow for a short break-in period if they are new.

The trainers make a squeaking sound.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's base. Remove the insole, clean and dry both surfaces thoroughly, then reinsert. If the squeak persists, it might be due to outsole wear, which would indicate needing replacement.

My feet feel hot or sweaty.

The `mesh upper` is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the weather conditions. If the issue persists, clean the mesh to ensure no blockages are impeding airflow.

The reflective details seem to be dull.

Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean. Dirt or dust can obscure their reflective properties. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ABZORB 2000 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the `mesh upper` and `synthetic overlays` with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Outsole: A soft brush can be used to remove dirt and debris from the `rubber outsole`.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's construction and materials.
