FAQs
Are the New Balance 1000 Cordura shoes waterproof?
The New Balance 1000 Cordura features water-repellent ripstop material in its upper, which offers protection against light rain and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for heavy downpours or submersion.
How do I clean the different materials on these shoes?
For the Cordura ripstop, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. For the suede overlays, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and a suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
New Balance generally maintains consistent sizing across its models. We recommend checking a New Balance size guide if you are unsure, or trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material designed for superior shock absorption. It combines cushioning and compression resistance to help absorb impact forces, providing a softer and more comfortable ride.
What is the purpose of the Stability Web?
The Stability Web is a lightweight yet rigid arch support technology integrated into the midfoot. Its purpose is to provide enhanced stability, prevent excessive foot torsion, and support the arch during movement, contributing to overall comfort and injury prevention.
Can I wear these shoes for running or intense sports?
While the New Balance 1000 Cordura offers comfort and stability, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual urban sneaker. For specialized running or intense sports, we recommend footwear specifically engineered for those activities.
Troubleshooting
Suede overlays appear dull, dirty, or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For set-in stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on suede.
Water repellent effect seems diminished over time.
The water-repellent properties of the ripstop may decrease with wear. Reapply a high-quality water and stain protector spray, suitable for both textiles and suede, ensuring even coverage and allowing it to dry completely.
Foot discomfort or lack of support after prolonged wear.
Ensure your shoes are laced properly for a secure, yet comfortable, fit. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a specialist for custom insoles or orthotics, as individual foot needs can vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon receiving your New Balance 1000 Cordura, begin by ensuring the lacing provides a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Walk around to assess the fit and feel of the ABZORB cushioning and Stability Web support. It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Care
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 1000 Cordura:
- Cleaning the Ripstop: Gently wipe the Cordura ripstop areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry thoroughly away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Cleaning the Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid excessive moisture, which can stain or damage suede.
- Water Repellency: While featuring water-repellent ripstop, consider applying a suitable water and stain protector spray (designed for both textile and suede) for enhanced, long-lasting protection. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in cramped spaces to prevent material compression or creasing.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
