FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

They are designed for daily wear and light activity. While they feature running-inspired technology, they are optimized for lifestyle use rather than professional long-distance running.

Are they true to size?

Yes, the New Balance Abzorb 2000 runs true to the standard UK sizing guide. We recommend purchasing your normal size.

Can I remove the insoles?

The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.

How do I maintain the grey and beige colorway?

Use a soft brush to keep the fabric free of dust and treat stains immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the New Balance Abzorb 2000 is designed as a unisex trainer with a fit profile suitable for both men and women.

What is the purpose of the Stability Web?

The Stability Web is a structural feature located in the midfoot area that provides arch support and prevents the foot from twisting excessively during natural gait cycles.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or a reef knot if the laces are stiff from newness; as the material breaks in, they will hold a standard bow better.

Feeling of stiffness in the midsole

The ABZORB cushioning requires a short 'break-in' period. Wear the shoes for short durations over the first 3-5 days to allow the foam to contour to your foot strike.

Discoloration of the beige material

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning spray or a gentle upholstery cleaner specifically safe for polyester-based mesh to spot-treat areas without oversaturating the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional daily comfort due to dual-layer ABZORB cushioning
  • Stable midfoot support via Stability Web integration
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
  • Versatile and neutral color palette matches diverse outfits
  • True-to-size regular fit consistent with industry standards

Cons

  • Not specifically engineered for high-intensity competitive sports
  • Design aesthetic leans toward lifestyle fashion rather than technical track performance
  • Light-colored beige accents may require more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance Abzorb 2000s remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:

Setup and Fit

These trainers are designed with a regular fit and generally run true to size. If you prefer to use aftermarket insoles or wear thicker performance socks, consider this when selecting your specific UK size. The lace-up closure allows for a customized tension adjustment to lock the foot in place securely.

Care Instructions

  • Regular Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the upper fabric after use.
  • Cleaning: Clean light stains with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the internal adhesives and cushioning structure.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials and affect the performance of the ABZORB sole.
