Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1890 is a lifestyle-oriented trainer designed for adults who prioritize daily comfort and a heritage-inspired aesthetic. By blending the brand's signature ABZORB cushioning technology with a streamlined, narrow profile, these shoes offer reliable support for casual walking and everyday wear. While they provide excellent comfort, the narrow fit means they may not be ideal for those who require a wider toe box.

FAQs

Is the New Balance 1890 suitable for running?

While it features running-inspired technology, it is designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday walking and casual use rather than technical athletic training.

Does this model fit true to size?

It fits as expected for length, but the profile is narrower than standard New Balance trainers; those with wider feet may consider sizing up.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is constructed from durable leather, which offers a premium feel and long-lasting support.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning foam that is compression-resistant and designed to absorb impact during movement.

Troubleshooting

Stiff fit during initial wear

Wear the shoes indoors for short periods to allow the leather upper to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Outsole losing traction

Check the rubber tread for embedded stones or debris and clean with a soft-bristled brush.

Creasing in the leather

Use a wooden shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain the original shape and reduce deep creasing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent long-term comfort from ABZORB technology
  • Stylish, versatile lifestyle aesthetic
  • High-quality, durable leather construction
  • Responsive grip suitable for daily urban environments

Cons

  • Narrow profile may feel restrictive for wide-footed users
  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic running
  • Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are crafted with genuine leather, they benefit from a short 'break-in' period to allow the material to contour to the unique shape of your foot. For sizing, the 1890 features a noticeably narrower fit; consider wearing thin-to-medium thickness cotton socks to ensure proper circulation. To keep your pair in optimal condition, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud. If the leather becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and let it air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place leather footwear in a dryer, as the heat can cause the material to crack or the adhesives in the sole to weaken.
