FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB cushioning is designed to provide excellent shock absorption in the heel and forefoot, enhancing comfort during walking and daily activities.

Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?

The New Balance 1000 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specialized for high-impact athletic activities like running or intense training.

How do I clean the mesh and synthetic overlays?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh and synthetic parts. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.

What does the 'Stability Web' shank do?

The Stability Web shank is integrated into the midfoot to provide structural support and torsional rigidity, contributing to a more stable stride.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash New Balance trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the difference between the original 1999 model and this relaunch?

The relaunch maintains the original's bold, futuristic aesthetic while updating the materials and construction for refined comfort and a tech-inspired look, including modified upper paneling and the use of ABZORB cushioning.

Where can I find other sizes and colors?

Other available sizes and colors can typically be found through the brand's official website or authorized retailers. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the New Balance size chart and consider trying a half-size up or down based on reviews and personal fit preferences. The specific shape of the 1000 series may differ slightly from other models.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and have selected the correct size. The ABZORB cushioning may take some time to mold to your foot.

Color transfer on socks

This can occasionally happen with new footwear, especially in darker colors. It is recommended to wear darker socks for the first few wears until any excess dye has washed out.
