New Balance Abzorb 2000 Trainers - Grey/Black - UK 5

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning and support technology designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel, reducing stress on the feet and joints.

While offering excellent cushioning for general wear and light training, the Abzorb 2000 is primarily designed with a retro-inspired aesthetic and versatile comfort. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes might be more appropriate.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not feel constricting.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the advanced cushioning materials and the upper construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

SBS stands for 'StrobelBoard System', referring to the construction method where the upper is stitched to a board, providing a stable base for the cushioning pods.

Unisex sizing generally refers to the standard men's sizing. Women typically need to order a size and a half smaller than their usual women's size to find an equivalent fit (e.g., a Women's US 8 would be a Men's US 6.5).

The upper is primarily constructed with Nylon, offering a balance of durability and breathability.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution as specialized traction may be required.

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the trainer's structure suits your foot type.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with recommended mild soap and water only.

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of similar length and material. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
