FAQs
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam technology that provides a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, designed to absorb impact effectively and offer a responsive feel.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the full-length ABZORB sole with SBS pods offers excellent cushioning and support, making them suitable for long-distance running and road racing where comfort and impact protection are paramount.
How does the Stability Web shank help?
The Stability Web shank is a supportive element in the midfoot of the shoe that provides torsional rigidity, helping to maintain the shoe's structure and offer enhanced support and a smoother transition from heel to toe.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, and air dry.
What is the intended use of the New Balance ABZORB 2000?
These shoes are designed for adult women for running, walking, and general athletic or casual wear, emphasizing comfort, support, and a retro-inspired style.
How do I know if the shoe fits correctly?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug but not constricting.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, check the lacing system and adjust for a more personalized fit. Consider trying a half-size up if the issue is consistent.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
ABZORB cushioning may naturally reduce over extensive use. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly to prevent debris from affecting performance. If cushioning is significantly diminished after prolonged wear, it may be time to consider replacement.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mixture of cool water and mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
