FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
The New Balance M1000NBB sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and urban exploration. While they offer good cushioning and stability for daily use, they are not intended for high-performance running or intense athletic sports.
How do I determine my correct size?
These sneakers are listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking New Balance's official size chart or trying them on to ensure the best fit. Keep in mind that sizing can sometimes vary slightly between models.
What is Cordura fabric and why is it used?
Cordura is a highly durable and abrasion-resistant fabric. It's used in these sneakers to enhance their ruggedness and longevity, providing extra protection against daily wear and tear, especially in urban environments.
What does ABZORB midsole technology do?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning foam that provides superior shock absorption and compression resistance. This technology helps to reduce impact on your joints and provides lasting comfort throughout the day.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the sneakers, especially the leather components. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
While the Cordura fabric offers some resistance to light moisture, these sneakers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion should be avoided to prevent water damage.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
A squeaking sound can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning the area, and reinserting them. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
Dirt and stains on the upper material (Cordura/Leather)
For Cordura fabric, use a soft brush and mild soap with lukewarm water. For leather sections, apply a specialized leather cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, then condition. Always spot-test cleaners in an inconspicuous area first.
Foot discomfort after long wear
While equipped with an ABZORB midsole, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure your laces are not too tight. If discomfort persists, consider trying aftermarket insoles designed for your specific arch type or foot needs.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. You can also try replacing the original laces with slightly wider or textured laces that provide more friction.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance M1000NBB sneakers:
- General Cleaning: For textile and Cordura areas, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to gently scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Leather Cleaning: For leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials like leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains or odors, consider using a sneaker cleaning kit designed for mixed-material footwear.
