Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 1890 features performance-inspired technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking sneaker. It is not recommended for high-mileage or technical running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. Given the narrow profile, if you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 1890 series is designed for a unisex fit, though availability of specific colorways and sizes may vary.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can compromise the adhesives and ruin the suede finish. Stick to manual spot cleaning.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh and premium suede, supported by a rubber outsole.

Do these provide arch support?

The ABZORB midsole provides excellent neutral support and shock absorption, which is generally helpful for moderate arch comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'loose' style to reduce pressure, or allow for a 1-2 week break-in period as the materials soften.

Suede looks discolored or stained

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift dirt. Avoid liquid cleaners on suede as they can cause water spots.

Loss of cushioning support over time

Ensure the outsoles are not worn down unevenly and consider replacing the factory insole with an aftermarket cushioned insert if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption from ABZORB technology
  • Versatile design suitable for both casual and active settings
  • Breathable construction prevents overheating
  • Durable materials offer long-lasting wear

Cons

  • Narrow profile may feel tight for some users
  • Suede material requires careful cleaning
  • Not intended for high-intensity professional athletic training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers maintain their shape and comfort, it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking socks to complement the mesh upper. If you have custom orthotics, the factory insole can be removed to accommodate them, though the shoe's internal fit is relatively slim.

Care Instructions:

  • Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt or debris from the suede surfaces.
  • For mesh sections, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
  • Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from cracking or shrinking.
