FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1000 trainers feature ABZORB cushioning, making them comfortable for everyday wear and light activities. For intense running or specialized athletic performance, dedicated running shoes from New Balance might be more appropriate.
How do I determine the right size for unisex footwear?
Unisex sizing can differ from gender-specific sizing. It's recommended to check the New Balance size chart, which usually provides conversions for men's and women's sizes. For instance, a women's size 8 might correspond to a men's size 6.5 or 7.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology from New Balance that absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel, enhancing comfort during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not fully waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and mesh materials.
What is the Stability Web shank?
The Stability Web shank is a support feature embedded in the midfoot of the shoe, designed to provide torsional rigidity and support the arch.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Gently brush away dirt with a soft brush. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow suede to air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes happen due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensuring all laces are properly tied.
Laces not staying tied
Try double-knotting the laces, or consider replacing them with laces that have better grip.
Discomfort in the arch area
Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently remove dry marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully.
