FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 1000 trainers?

While inspired by runners, the New Balance 1000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For marathon running, consider specialized running shoes.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid scrubbing too vigorously. Wipe with a damp cloth afterward.
What does 'Plum' refer to in the colorway?
'Plum' refers to the dark purple color of the leather upper.
Are there other color options available for the 1000 series?
The New Balance 1000 series may be available in other colorways and material combinations. Please check other product listings for available variants.
What is the significance of the '1000' in the product name?

Troubleshooting
Laces wear out or break.
Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid stress.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Condition the leather with a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic shoes. For scuffs, use a matching color shoe polish if available, or a neutral polish.
Sole feels less cushioned over time.
The Abzorb cushioning is designed for long-term durability but will naturally compress with extensive use. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes to extend the life of the cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup. They are designed for direct wear.
Compatibility:
- Footwear: Compatible with standard socks. Consider thinner socks for a snugger fit or thicker socks for added warmth and cushioning.
- Sizing: This specific model is a UK size 5 for men. Ensure this size is appropriate for your foot before purchase. Refer to New Balance's sizing chart for accurate measurements.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and mesh surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
