FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ABZORB 2000 are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers offering excellent cushioning for everyday wear and light activities. For serious marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes with specific features might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a retailer. Ensure your foot measurements are accurate before selecting a size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance ABZORB 2000 trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'ABZORB' technology mean?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary technology that provides optimal shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints.
How do the ABZORB SBS pods differ from regular ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB SBS pods are specifically engineered cushioning units, often placed in key impact zones, that work in conjunction with the full-length ABZORB foam to provide enhanced, targeted shock absorption and stability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The mesh upper provides breathability and is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. For wet weather, consider shoes with water-resistant or waterproof materials.
What is the 'Stability Web shank'?
The Stability Web shank is a supportive insert, typically located in the midfoot of the outsole, designed to provide torsional rigidity and enhance stability, preventing excessive twisting of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the cushioning and materials to conform to your foot.
Uneven cushioning or support
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the shoe is properly laced. If the issue persists, it might be beneficial to consult with a footwear specialist.
Fading of printed details
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Ensure the insoles are properly seated and try a different surface to see if the sound persists.
