FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While inspired by 2000s running technology and featuring excellent ABZORB cushioning, the Abzorb 2010 is primarily designed for casual wear and daily comfort rather than high-performance running. For dedicated running, New Balance offers specialized running shoe lines.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water and harsh chemicals, as they can damage suede.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that offers superior shock absorption and compression resistance. In the Abzorb 2010, it provides exceptional comfort and protection against impact, enhanced by ABZORB SBS pods for targeted support.
Is the 'yellowed midsole' a defect?
No, the yellowed midsole is an intentional design choice to give the New Balance Abzorb 2010 Sneaker a vintage, aged aesthetic, part of its retro inspiration and the 'Grey Days' collection.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance typically offers consistent sizing. However, fit can vary slightly between models. We recommend checking specific size guides if available, and trying them on to ensure the best fit for your foot shape. The UK 8 size is standard.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Due to the suede and mesh materials, these sneakers are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain suede and may compromise the material's integrity over time. It's best to wear them in dry environments.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, a suede eraser can gently lift marks. Always brush in one direction.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after extended wear
Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes may require a break-in period. If discomfort continues, consider trying different lacing techniques or aftermarket insoles for personalized support. Review sizing information if available, as fits can vary.
