FAQs

Are New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers suitable for running or sports?

While inspired by running shoe technology, the ABZORB 2000 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering exceptional comfort and style for everyday use rather than high-performance athletic activities or specialized sports.

How do I clean my ABZORB 2000 Trainers?

Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.

Do these trainers run true to size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent. We recommend consulting the New Balance size guide to ensure the best fit for your foot, especially if you are unsure or between sizes.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam material that offers superior shock absorption and cushioning, providing a soft and comfortable feel underfoot. ABZORB SBS pods enhance this with targeted, segmented absorption.

Are the ABZORB 2000 Trainers reflective?

Yes, the synthetic 'Silver Metallic' overlays on the upper are designed to offer reflective qualities, which can enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

What materials are used in the upper of the ABZORB 2000?

The upper features a combination of lightweight mesh for breathability and structured synthetic overlays for support, durability, and aesthetic detailing.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel a bit tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. New trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.

The mesh upper is getting dirty quickly.

Regularly wipe down the mesh with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to prevent dirt buildup. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

There's a squeaking sound when I walk.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture or trapped debris between the insole and the midsole. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, ensure they are dry, and then reinsert. If the squeak persists, it might be a manufacturing issue.

Care

Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers.

  1. Initial Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away debris from the mesh upper and synthetic overlays.
  2. Deeper Clean: Mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water. Dip a soft cloth or brush into the solution and gently scrub affected areas. Avoid saturating the shoes.
  3. Rinsing: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
  5. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
