FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance Abzorb 2000 Trainers are designed for style and comfort with advanced cushioning for daily wear and light activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance marathon running.

What does ABZORB mean in the product name?

ABZORB refers to New Balance's proprietary foam technology that provides a unique blend of cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow your foot to rest comfortably without being squeezed.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the primary benefit of the SBS pods?

The ABZORB SBS pods are strategically placed to provide enhanced, targeted cushioning and stability in key impact zones, improving overall comfort and shock absorption.

Are the reflective details on the shoe very noticeable?

The reflective details are designed to be subtle in normal lighting but become more visible when light shines on them in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and moisture management, consider wearing athletic socks made from breathable materials like polyester, nylon, or merino wool blends. Choose the thickness based on personal preference and weather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the laces are loosened before putting them on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct for your foot width. For initial wear, breaking them in with short periods of use can help.

Cushioning feels less effective over time

The ABZORB cushioning may compress slightly with heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade materials. For significantly reduced cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Traction on the outsole is reduced

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed as unisex footwear, they are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits. They are suitable for adult wearers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the midsole and rubber outsole. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher marks.
  3. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and hand wash them with mild detergent, then air dry completely.
  4. Drying: Never machine dry. Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
