FAQs
Is the ABZORB 1890 suitable for running?
These shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear; while they feature technical cushioning, they are not intended for distance running.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?
The ABZORB 1890 generally fits true to size, following the standard New Balance UK sizing conventions for the 1890 series.
Are the materials waterproof?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof or water-resistant.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the existing insoles can be removed to accommodate most custom orthotic inserts.
How should I store these trainers to prevent yellowing?
Keep them out of direct sunlight and store them in a climate-controlled environment to prevent UV damage and yellowing of materials.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt trapped in the mesh pattern
Use a soft-bristle dry brush to gently sweep away loose particles from the textured mesh cavities.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Ensure the dual-loop lacing technique is used, as the eyelets are positioned to accommodate secure, tension-based lockdown.
Minor scuffs on the midsole
Apply a mild sneaker cleaner with a microfibre cloth and rub gently in circular motions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate layered mesh and the specific collaboration finishes, care should be taken to preserve the materials. Always avoid machine washing, which can damage the delicate mesh overlays. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust, and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. Ensure the shoes air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation. Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe box.
