Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1000 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of archival style and modern comfort. Originally released in 1999, these trainers offer a unique, refined, and tech-inspired aesthetic with robust cushioning. A key benefit is their ability to bridge the gap between retro fashion and contemporary performance. However, users should be mindful that the design, while updated, retains some of its late-90s character which may not appeal to all contemporary minimalist aesthetics.

FAQs

What does ABZORB cushioning do?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that absorbs shock and impact, providing a comfortable and supportive feel in both the heel and forefoot.

Are these trainers good for running?

While they offer good cushioning and support for daily wear and light activities, the New Balance 1000 are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for serious or high-mileage running.

What material are the trainers made of?

The trainers feature a combination of mesh underlays and prominent synthetic overlay panels, consistent with their late 1990s design inspiration.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing guide for UK men's and women's shoe sizes. The fit should be snug but comfortable, with enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method to preserve the materials and shape.

What is the Stability Web feature?

The Stability Web is an insert in the midfoot shank designed to provide torsional rigidity and support, helping to prevent excessive foot motion.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the New Balance 1000 trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the New Balance sizing chart for UK shoe sizes. If possible, try them on in-store or ensure you are familiar with your New Balance size. Some users find they run true to size, while others suggest a half-size up for wider feet.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes, especially those with robust support structures, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Mesh appears dirty or stained

Use a soft brush or a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Ensure to test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The ABZORB cushioning is designed for longevity, but its effectiveness can be impacted by heavy use or improper care. Ensure proper cleaning and avoid exposing the shoes to extreme conditions.
