FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that combines specific foam compounds and structural elements to provide a unique blend of cushioning and responsiveness, helping to absorb impact effectively.
Are these trainers good for running?
While inspired by running shoes and featuring advanced cushioning, the ABZORB 2000 are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual activities. For serious or performance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or at retail partners. Generally, UK sizes are marked clearly on the shoe box and inside the shoe.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, especially due to the suede upper, which can be damaged by excessive moisture and may stain easily.
What is the main design inspiration for the ABZORB 2000?
The design draws inspiration from distinctive running-inspired footwear from the 2000s, reinterpreted with a progressive and futuristic aesthetic that emphasizes visible technology.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The product information indicates this specific model is available in a Brown/Blue colorway. Please check with retailers for availability of other color options if they exist.
How do I care for the suede material?
Regularly brush the suede with a soft brush to remove dust and maintain texture. Use a specialized suede cleaner for stains and protect with a suede protector spray. Avoid washing.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit upon first wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Suede material looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Avoid washing the shoes in a machine.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While ABZORB cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with very heavy use. For continued optimal performance, consider rotating with other footwear for daily wear.
