FAQs
What kind of activities are the New Balance 1000 suitable for?
The New Balance 1000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker, perfect for daily wear, urban exploration, and light walking. While it has a running-inspired silhouette, it's not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the leather on my New Balance 1000 sneakers?
For basic cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these sneakers true to size?
New Balance typically runs true to size. As this is a UK Size 5, we recommend trying them on with your usual socks to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam technology that provides superior shock absorption and cushioning. It helps reduce impact forces, offering enhanced comfort during extended wear.
Is the reflective detailing purely for style?
While the reflective detailing adds a futuristic aesthetic, it also serves a practical purpose by increasing visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing safety during dawn or dusk outings.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
The New Balance 1000 features leather and synthetic uppers, which offer some resistance to light moisture. For optimal protection in wet conditions, we recommend applying a water-repellent spray suitable for leather and synthetic materials. Avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Leather can sometimes stretch slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, check your sizing against New Balance's official size guide.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the leather thoroughly as per care instructions. For scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner or polish can help restore its appearance. For deeper scuffs, a professional shoe repairer might be needed.
Reflective elements are not shining as brightly.
Ensure the reflective detailing is clean and free of dirt or dust buildup. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove any obstructions.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture inside the shoe or between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insoles and letting them and the inside of the shoe air dry completely. A sprinkle of talcum powder under the insole can also help.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather and synthetic sneakers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather and synthetic surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner for the leather parts and a mild soap solution for the synthetic and mesh areas. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous spot first.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray suitable for leather and synthetic materials to protect against the elements and spills.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Reflective Detailing: Be gentle when cleaning areas with reflective material to avoid scratching or damaging the finish.
