FAQs
Are New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers suitable for serious running?
While inspired by running shoes and featuring advanced cushioning, the ABZORB 2000 is primarily designed for casual wear, comfort, and light activity rather than high-performance or competitive running.
How do I clean my ABZORB 2000 Trainers?
Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush for the outsole. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these trainers run true to size?
New Balance typically runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying your usual UK size or consulting a sizing chart if unsure.
What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ABZORB SBS is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that provides superior, segmented shock absorption. It's designed to dissipate impact forces and enhance overall comfort.
Are there any reflective features on the trainers?
Yes, the 'Silver Metallic' and 'Castlerock' synthetic overlays have reflective qualities, enhancing both the style and visibility of the trainers in appropriate lighting conditions.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
The trainers feature a mesh upper and are not waterproof. While they can withstand light drizzle, it's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water to maintain their condition and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like most footwear, these trainers may require a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials and cushioning to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.
My trainers look dull or dirty after wear.
Regular cleaning is key. For general dirt, use a soft, damp cloth. For persistent stains on the mesh or synthetic overlays, a mild shoe cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be applied gently. Always allow them to air dry completely.
The reflective elements don't seem bright enough.
Ensure the reflective overlays are clean and free of dirt or dust, which can obscure their reflective properties. Test them under different lighting conditions, as their visibility is most noticeable in low-light environments when a direct light source hits them.

Care Instructions

- Cleaning the Mesh & Overlays: Gently wipe visible dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap or sneaker cleaner mixed with water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
