FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 1890 Trainers feature a running-inspired construction for support and comfort during daily activities. However, they are best suited for casual wear and light exercise rather than high-intensity or competitive running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or your retailer. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the indicated measurements for UK sizing. This model is available in UK 3.5 to 11.5.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides effective shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on the feet and joints.

Are the materials suitable for wet weather?

While the trainers have some synthetic and leather components, they are not waterproof. The mesh panels can allow water ingress. For wet conditions, consider footwear designed specifically for weather resistance.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Regular cleaning after use, especially if exposed to dirt or dust, will help maintain their appearance and longevity. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed.

What is the difference between the Grey and Grey/Cream variants?

The main difference lies in the secondary color accents. The 'Grey' variant may have monochromatic or subtle detailing, while the 'Grey/Cream' variant features distinct cream-colored laces and potentially other accents for contrast.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try lacing them slightly differently or check if any debris is trapped in the sole tread.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too tight.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a similar length and material. Avoid overtightening laces, which can put excessive strain on them.

Outer sole wear

Normal wear and tear will occur on the outsole. For significantly worn areas impacting grip, consider professional assessment or replacement of the footwear.
