FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While the ABZORB technology provides excellent cushioning, the New Balance 2000 Trainers are primarily designed with a lifestyle and casual athletic focus. For high-performance, dedicated running, specific running shoe models might be more appropriate.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. The UK sizing is provided, but comparing with your usual size in other brands can also be helpful. This model is unisex.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides a superior blend of cushioning and compression resistance. It helps to absorb impact and offer a responsive feel.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand cleaning as described in the care instructions is the preferred method.
What is the difference between ABZORB and ABZORB SBS pods?
ABZORB refers to the overall cushioning technology used throughout the shoe. ABZORB SBS pods are specific components within the sole designed for enhanced stability and targeted cushioning in critical areas.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 2000 Trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Initial tightness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check if any part of the sole is rubbing against the upper.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a more durable or textured pair if this is a persistent problem.
Yellowing of the midsole
Yellowing can be a natural aging process for some foam compounds. Gentle cleaning with a specialized shoe cleaner might help, but complete reversal is unlikely.
