FAQs

Are the New Balance 1890 trainers waterproof?

No, the linen material is breathable and not designed to be waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Can these be washed in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the agitation and heat can damage the linen and the shoe's structural adhesives.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These are classified as lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they are not designed for high-impact running or intense athletic training.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing guidelines for New Balance unisex footwear.

Can I use leather cleaner on this model?

No, you should use cleaning products specifically designed for fabric or linen, as leather cleaners may stain or ruin the material.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on linen fabric

Use a dry, soft brush to remove loose dirt before applying a damp cloth with mild soap.

Shoes feel tight after long wear

Linen can naturally expand slightly with heat; if discomfort persists, consider loosening the laces starting from the toe box.

Insoles losing support

Since the insoles are removable, replace them with aftermarket support inserts if you require more arch stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust from the linen fabric. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid soaking the fabric to prevent structural warping.
  2. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can weaken the linen fibers and fade the colors.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the trainer when not in use.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit; if you typically require custom orthotics, the removable insoles allow for easy insertion of your preferred medical-grade supports.
