FAQs

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that combines specific foam compounds and geometry to provide a blend of cushioning and resistance to compression. It helps absorb impact and offers a responsive feel.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Abzorb 2000 are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with advanced cushioning. While they offer comfort for walking and everyday activities, they are not specialized for high-performance running.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the mesh material. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.

What does 'SBS Pods' mean?

SBS stands for 'Strobel Board System'. ABZORB SBS pods are specific cushioning units integrated into the midsole, designed to offer enhanced stability and targeted shock absorption.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

These trainers feature a standard insole that may be removable in some cases, allowing space for custom orthotics. Check the product details or try them with your orthotics to assess fit.

Are the reflective details effective?

Yes, the reflective details are designed to catch and reflect light in low-light conditions, enhancing your visibility to others, such as motorists.

What is the material of the outsole?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, providing reliable traction and wear resistance for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try wearing the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If the issue persists, check if the correct size has been selected, as sizing can vary slightly between models.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the outsole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the sound persists, it might be an internal component; consult customer support if under warranty.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers good grip, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be diminished. Clean the outsole to ensure no debris is impeding contact. Exercise caution in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult unisex wear, suitable for a UK size 8.5 foot. They are compatible with most standard sock types.

Care: To maintain the condition of your New Balance Abzorb 2000 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris from the ABZORB cushioning and rubber outsole. Stubborn marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or use a machine dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
