FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides a superior blend of cushioning and compression resistance, offering comfort and support without sacrificing durability.

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ABZORB 2000 is designed primarily for lifestyle and light training. For marathon running, New Balance offers specialized performance running shoes.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart online or measure your foot length and compare it to the provided size guide. The product details indicate this is a UK size 8.5.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and cushioning. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth.

What does 'Unisex' mean for this product?

Unisex means the shoe is designed to be worn by individuals of any gender. Sizing is typically based on standard shoe measurements that apply broadly.

What are the primary materials used in the upper?

The upper is constructed using a combination of synthetic materials and nylon, contributing to a lightweight and breathable design.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon first wear

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to naturally break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during this break-in period.

Discoloration on the upper material

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. If persistent, use a specialized mild cleaner for synthetic shoe materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., extreme sports). Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity, but extreme wear will eventually impact cushioning.
