FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning technology that combines soft foam with compression set resistance. It's designed to absorb impact and dissipate forces away from the foot, providing superior shock absorption and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the ABZORB 2000 takes inspiration from classic running shoes of the 2000s and features advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes rather than high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers use standard UK adult sizing. We recommend referring to a New Balance size chart to ensure the best fit, especially if you are unfamiliar with UK sizing or between sizes.
Can I machine wash my trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash your New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties. Always hand clean them with a soft cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
Info needed: Specific water-resistance details are not provided. Generally, trainers are not fully waterproof, but a water-repellent spray designed for footwear can add a layer of protection against light moisture.
What activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for daily wear, casual outings, walking, light urban activities, and making a fashion statement. Their comfort and unique style make them a great choice for lifestyle use.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too snug or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. New Balance sizes are generally consistent, but individual foot shapes can vary. Try adjusting lacing tension. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half size up or down.
Scuffs or marks appear on the minimalist upper
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild shoe cleaner or soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to preserve the material's finish. For tougher marks, specialized shoe cleaning products may be required.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
All cushioning materials experience wear over extensive use. While ABZORB is durable, consistent heavy use will gradually reduce its original responsiveness. This is normal wear and tear. Info needed: Expected lifespan before noticeable cushioning degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers is as simple as lacing them up and stepping out. Ensure you choose the correct UK size for a comfortable and secure fit. While these trainers are designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period might allow the cushioning to fully mold to your foot's unique contours.
Compatibility
These unisex adult trainers are highly versatile in terms of style compatibility. Their blue/grey colourway and futuristic design pair well with a wide range of casual and contemporary outfits. They are suitable for everyday wear, casual outings, light urban activities, and making a fashion statement. They are not specifically designed for rigorous athletic training, but rather for comfort and style in daily life.
Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ABZORB 2000 Trainers, follow these general care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe visible dirt or scuffs with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Drying: Never put your trainers in a washing machine or dryer. Air drying helps maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray designed for trainers to help repel water and stains, particularly for the upper materials.
