FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary cushioning technology designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel, enhancing comfort and reducing stress on the feet and joints. The Abzorb 2000 specifically uses a combination of full-length ABZORB and ABZORB SBS pods.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the ABZORB cushioning provides comfort, the Abzorb 2000 is primarily designed with a progressive, running-inspired aesthetic for casual wear and light training. For dedicated long-distance running, a shoe specifically engineered for performance running might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the green mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, use a sneaker cleaner specifically formulated for mesh, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'visible tech' mean in this shoe?

Visible tech refers to the design elements that showcase the shoe's construction and cushioning technology. In the Abzorb 2000, this includes the exposed ABZORB SBS pods and the layered upper design, highlighting how the shoe is made and how it performs.

Are these trainers unisex?

While this specific variant is listed as Male, the Abzorb 2000 series often has unisex appeal due to its design. Please check the specific sizing and gender categorization for other available variants.

What is the purpose of the synthetic overlays?

The glossy, synthetic overlays provide structure and support to the mesh upper, helping to maintain the shoe's shape. They also add a contrasting visual element to the design.

Do these trainers run true to size?

New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but fit can be subjective. It is recommended to consult the size chart and, if possible, try them on or check reviews regarding fit for this specific model. This guide lists a UK 12.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and ensure your socks are not too thick. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up, as New Balance sizing can vary slightly.

Discoloration on mesh

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mesh materials, following product instructions carefully.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture, or ensure the insole is seated correctly.

Reflective details peeling

Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning on reflective areas. If peeling occurs, it may be difficult to repair fully; focus on cleaning the rest of the shoe gently.
