FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 1890 features ABZORB cushioning, it is designed primarily as a versatile, everyday casual shoe rather than a dedicated long-distance running trainer.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to compare your foot length in centimeters against our sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if additional arch support is needed.
What is the primary material of the upper?
This specific 1890 model utilizes a high-quality polyester upper for a balance of durability and breathability.
Are they water-resistant?
The shoes are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable fabric protector spray to help repel light moisture and dirt.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading and to maintain the integrity of the cushioning foam.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to balance tension across the midfoot and check that your socks are not too thick for the shoe volume.
Upper material showing slight discoloration
Spot clean with a clean, damp cloth and let air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1890 shoes, it is important to treat them as you would any high-quality athletic-inspired footwear. For cleaning the polyester upper, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. If deeper cleaning is required, gently dab the affected area with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent; avoid machine washing or submersing the shoes in water, as this can degrade the structural adhesives. When choosing sizes, note that these models are provided in UK sizing standards. If you are transitioning from different athletic brands, consider measuring your foot length to ensure the best fit against your standard UK size.
