FAQs
What is ABZorb cushioning?
ABZorb is a New Balance technology designed to absorb impact forces and provide a comfortable, cushioned feel with excellent compression resistance.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoe construction, they are primarily designed for everyday comfort and support rather than dedicated performance running.
How do I clean the pigskin leather overlays?
Use a suede brush to gently clean the pigskin leather. For general cleaning of the shoe, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then air dry.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The trainers are made from a combination of synthetic materials, pigskin leather, and textile material for the upper, with a rubber outsole.

How do I ensure the best fit?
Ensure you select your correct UK shoe size. The lace-up closure allows for customization of the fit around your foot.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit or pressure points
Adjust the laces to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially.
Reduced cushioning after extended use
While ABZorb is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease over time. Consider replacing the shoes if significant loss of comfort is experienced.
Material discoloration or wear
Follow the care instructions for spot cleaning. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or abrasive surfaces.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The high-traction outsole provides grip, but caution is still advised on very wet or slippery surfaces.
