FAQs
Are New Balance 1000 Suede sneakers suitable for athletic activities like running?
While providing excellent cushioning and stability, the New Balance 1000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker rather than a performance running shoe. Its construction is optimized for everyday comfort and style.
How do I choose the correct size for the New Balance 1000?
The New Balance 1000 generally fits true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, opting for the larger size may provide more comfort.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain or wet conditions?
Due to the suede material, it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions as water can stain or damage suede. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It is engineered to absorb impact forces and disperse energy efficiently, providing superior shock absorption and a comfortable feel.
How often should I clean the suede upper?
The frequency depends on usage and exposure to dirt. Regular light brushing with a suede brush is recommended after each wear to remove dust. Deeper cleaning for stains should be done as needed to maintain the material's appearance.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles in the New Balance 1000 Suede are typically removable, allowing you to clean them, air them out, or replace them with custom orthotics if desired for personalized comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush, always brushing in the same direction to restore its original texture and nap. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser.
Stains on the suede material.
For fresh stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Dab gently, do not rub aggressively. For deep or widespread stains, consider professional suede cleaning.
Sneakers develop an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and shoes to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake out thoroughly.
Foot feels less supported or comfortable over time.
Check the condition of the insoles. If they are worn or compressed, replacing them with new insoles (original or aftermarket) can significantly restore comfort and support. Ensure your laces are tied securely for proper foot lockdown.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 1000 Suede sneakers.
- General Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher grime on non-suede parts, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then air dry.
- Suede Care:
- Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Always brush in one direction.
- Stain Removal: For small marks or stains, use a suede eraser. For more stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions, using a clean cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Protection: Regularly apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains, helping to preserve the material.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight. Never use a machine dryer.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge suede sneakers in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the material.
