FAQs

What makes the New Balance 2010 'Grey Days' special?

The New Balance 2010 is a new model for 2025 that combines design elements from the classic 99x and modern 9060 lineages. The 'Grey Days' edition features a unique blend of silvery mesh, suede, and leather in 'Taupe Grey' and incorporates advanced ABZORB SBS cushioning, making it a distinctive and comfortable sneaker.

What type of cushioning is used in these sneakers?

These sneakers feature ABZORB SBS cushioning pods located in both the rear and forefoot of the segmented vintage yellow midsole unit, providing superior shock absorption and comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic performance?

While the New Balance 2010 incorporates performance-inspired cushioning technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear. Its focus is on providing comfort and style for casual use rather than dedicated athletic performance.

How do I care for the different materials on the upper?

The upper is made from a combination of mesh, suede, and leather. For mesh, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a suitable leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the purpose of the translucent TPU midfoot shank?

The translucent TPU midfoot shank is integrated to provide enhanced stability and structural integrity to the shoe, supporting the arch and helping to maintain foot alignment during movement.

Is the sizing true to fit?

New Balance generally aims for true-to-size fits. However, as with any footwear, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these sneakers in all weather conditions?

The New Balance 2010 features a mixed-material upper including suede and leather. While suitable for everyday wear, these materials are not inherently waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the quality and appearance of the materials, especially the suede.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. New Balance shoes generally run true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Allow for a break-in period, as new shoes often need a few wears to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider reviewing your sizing.

Materials (suede/leather) appear dirty or stained.

Promptly clean affected areas. For suede, use a suede brush to lift dirt and a suede eraser for minor marks. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner if necessary. For mesh, a soft brush with mild soap and water is effective. Always follow product-specific care instructions for cleaning agents.

Sole appears discolored or worn prematurely.

The synthetic sole is designed for durability. Minor discoloration can often be cleaned with a gentle scrub. Excessive wear might indicate heavy use or specific gait patterns. Regular cleaning after use can prolong its appearance.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the aesthetic and longevity of your New Balance 2010 sneakers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: The upper consists of silvery mesh, suede, and leather. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove loose dirt. For mesh areas, a mild soap solution and a damp cloth can be used. For suede and leather, use specialized cleaning products designed for these materials. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
  3. Sole Care: Wipe the synthetic sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush and mild soap can be used.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color of your sneakers.
