FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The New Balance 1000 Cordura features a water-repellent ripstop upper, which means it can resist light moisture and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion should be avoided.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam technology that provides exceptional shock absorption. It combines cushioning and compression resistance to help minimize impact and deliver a comfortable, responsive feel underfoot.

How should I clean the black suede parts?

For black suede, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be applied gently. Avoid excessive moisture; if they get wet, let them air dry completely before brushing.

Is the sizing accurate for UK Size 7?

New Balance typically runs true to size. For this Men's UK Size 7 model, most users find it fits as expected. If you are unsure, referring to a New Balance size guide for foot measurements is recommended.

What is the Stability Web feature?

Stability Web is a lightweight arch support feature integrated into the midfoot of the sole unit. It helps provide torsional rigidity and prevents the shoe from twisting excessively, enhancing overall stability and support during movement.

Can I use these for running or sports?

While the New Balance 1000 offers excellent cushioning and stability for everyday wear, it is not specifically designed as a high-performance running or sports shoe. It is best suited for casual wear, walking, and urban activities.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove loose dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.

Water-repellency seems to be diminishing

Clean the Cordura upper thoroughly. Once dry, apply a high-quality, footwear-specific water and stain repellent spray suitable for synthetic fabrics and suede. Always follow product instructions and test in an inconspicuous area.

Shoe feels less comfortable or supportive over time

Check if the original insoles are worn out. Replacing them with new, supportive insoles can often refresh the shoe's comfort. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tight to provide optimal foot lockdown and support.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Cordura Ripstop: For general dirt and grime, gently wipe the Cordura sections with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the material's integrity or water-repellent finish. Allow to air dry naturally.
  2. Cleaning Suede Overlays: Suede requires specialized care. Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. If wet, allow the suede to dry naturally before brushing. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
  3. Water Repellency: While the Cordura is water-repellent, its properties can diminish over time. Consider using a footwear-specific water and stain repellent spray suitable for both ripstop and suede to maintain protection. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
