Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Abzorb 1890 trainers are designed for adults seeking a reliable, everyday sneaker that balances athletic performance features with a lifestyle-friendly profile. Built for those who prioritize long-lasting comfort during daily activities, these shoes utilize the brand's signature cushioning technology to reduce impact. While they offer excellent support and a sleek aesthetic, users should note that the narrower, performance-inspired fit may require a breaking-in period for those accustomed to wider, casual footwear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The 1890 features a narrower, performance-based profile. Individuals with wide feet might find the fit snug and may want to consider a half-size increase.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesive integrity of the midsole. Spot cleaning is strongly recommended.

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning material that absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the New Balance 1890 series is designed as a unisex product suitable for all adults, provided the correct UK sizing is chosen.

Are these good for long-distance running?

While the 1890 is inspired by performance running silhouettes, it is designed for lifestyle and everyday wear. It is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'parallel' or 'loose' setup to relieve pressure on the arch.

Visible water spots on suede

Use a suede brush in a circular motion once the material is completely dry to restore the nap.

Outsole losing traction

Check the treads for debris or pebbles stuck in the pattern; clean with a damp cloth or soft brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Signature ABZORB technology provides exceptional all-day comfort
  • Versatile design transitions well between casual and active settings
  • High-quality suede construction ensures long-term durability
  • Outsole provides confident traction on pavement and indoor surfaces

Cons

  • Narrow profile may feel restrictive for those with very wide feet
  • Suede upper requires specific care to prevent staining
  • Less breathable than pure mesh performance runners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature suede elements, regular maintenance is recommended to keep them looking fresh. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the material. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the suede panels. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light cleaning solution formulated for natural fibers. Ensure you have selected your correct UK adult size, keeping in mind the narrower construction—if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, you may want to consider sizing up by a half size.
