FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance ABZORB 2000 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle, casual wear, and light athletic activities. For marathon running, we recommend specialized running shoes that offer advanced features tailored for long-distance performance and impact.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel too tight or restrictive around the width.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for trainers if you anticipate encountering moisture.
What is the main benefit of ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB cushioning provides a unique combination of cushioning and compressive resistance. It absorbs impact forces, helping to reduce the stress on your feet and legs, while also returning energy to give you a more responsive feel.
How often should I clean my ABZORB 2000 trainers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. It's advisable to clean them after particularly dirty use or when they visibly appear soiled. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance and longevity.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The New Balance ABZORB 2000 line features various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options, as colors can vary by season and region.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is normal for new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. The cushioning will become more pliable with use.
Color transfer from shoe to socks
New footwear, especially those with dark dyes, may experience some color transfer initially. This usually subsides after a few wears. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing them.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
While ABZORB is designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease over time with extensive wear. Ensure you are not using the shoes for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intense athletic training).
Unusual squeaking sound
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or trapped moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the sound persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or to the tongue area.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and printed overlay sections, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub any soiled areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the ABZORB sole unit and pods. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used with mild soap and water. Ensure the shoe is dry before wearing.
- Suede Care (if applicable): If your variant includes suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Protect suede with a waterproofing spray if desired.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
