Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Abzorb 1890 trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, everyday sneaker that successfully blends vintage running heritage with modern outdoor-inspired aesthetics. Their primary benefit is the signature ABZORB midsole cushioning, which offers exceptional impact absorption for all-day comfort, though users should be aware that the suede construction requires careful maintenance compared to synthetic alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While they feature heritage running DNA, they are primarily designed for everyday lifestyle use rather than high-intensity long-distance athletics.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a dry suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit and avoid using excessive water.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

Yes, the ABZORB midsole provides substantial impact absorption and support suitable for standard arch types during casual walking.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning. Always hand-clean.

Are these trainers true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have wide feet, consider testing your standard size or a half-size up for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Visible water spots on the suede

Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat sources, then gently buff with a suede eraser or brush.

Loss of cushion comfort

Check if the factory insole has worn down and consider replacing it with an aftermarket orthotic insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers last, proper care is essential, especially given the suede exterior.

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to add a layer of protection against the elements.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the grey and silver hues to fade over time.
  4. Fit: Ensure you are using the correct UK size, as the structure is designed to hold the foot securely; wearing incorrect sizes may cause unnecessary friction or premature wear of the inner lining.
