FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the ABZORB cushioning and the structural integrity of the shoe materials.
Can I use these for running?
These are lifestyle trainers; while comfortable for walking, they lack the specific technical features required for serious running.
How do I determine my size?
New Balance sizing generally follows standard UK measurements. It is recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.
What does the ABZORB technology do?
ABZORB is a proprietary foam material that disperses impact forces, providing greater comfort and stability than standard EVA foam.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The materials are durable but not inherently waterproof; using a water-repellent spray can provide a layer of protection against light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly to provide even pressure across the bridge of the foot, or consider an aftermarket insole if additional arch support is required.
Midsole appearing compressed or dirty
Wipe the midsole with a damp sponge regularly to remove debris that can trap moisture and cause early degradation of the foam surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers maintain their performance and look, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the midsole and upper materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and material breakdown.
