FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Abzorb 1890 is primarily a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for walking and daily activities, they are not engineered for professional-grade running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend checking your current comfortable sneakers to ensure a consistent fit.

Are the materials waterproof?

The materials are durable but not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in wet conditions.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to use custom orthotics or specific arch supports.

What is the primary difference between the leather and suede versions?

The leather version offers a more structured, easy-to-wipe-clean finish, while the suede versions provide a softer, more textured aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff away dirt, or a suede-specific cleaning block for tougher marks.

Midsole foam feels less responsive

Ensure you are giving the foam time to decompress after long periods of wear; rotating your footwear can extend the life of the cushioning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption due to ABZORB technology
  • Versatile design suitable for most casual wardrobes
  • Durable build quality for long-term use
  • Neutral color palette is easy to clean and style

Cons

  • Primarily designed for lifestyle rather than specialized sports
  • Limited to adult sizing range
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain the suede or leather finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Material Specifics: Depending on whether your specific pair is leather or suede, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper.
  2. Cleaning: For deeper stains on leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap; for suede, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner to avoid damaging the texture.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the midsole foam from degrading or the materials from fading.
  4. Maintenance: Allow your shoes to air out after heavy use to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
