FAQs
What does ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material designed to provide excellent shock absorption, dispersing impact forces and delivering a soft, comfortable ride. The ABZORB SBS pods strategically enhance this by offering targeted cushioning for specific areas of the foot.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the ABZORB 2000 trainers are inspired by early 2000s running shoes and offer excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light daily activities rather than high-performance or intense running workouts.
How do I determine my size?
This specific variant is UK Men's size 7.5. New Balance generally runs true to size. If you are unsure, it is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to a New Balance size chart or try them on at a retailer.
Can I machine wash my ABZORB 2000 trainers?
No, it is strongly recommended not to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the integrity of the cushioning. Please follow the hand-washing care instructions provided in this guide.
Do the reflective details work well at night?
Yes, the 'Silver Metallic' and 'Castlerock' synthetic overlays incorporate reflective qualities. These are designed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions when exposed to direct light sources such as car headlights.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a 'Light Chrome Blue' mesh, which provides breathability and a lightweight feel, complemented by durable synthetic 'Silver Metallic' and 'Castlerock' overlays for structure and aesthetic appeal.
How durable is the outsole?
The trainers feature a durable rubber outsole, designed to provide reliable traction and withstand regular daily wear on various urban surfaces, contributing to the shoe's longevity.
Troubleshooting
Trainer discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the fit. Wear appropriate socks. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to mold to your feet.
Decreased cushioning feel
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the trainers are used for their intended purpose (lifestyle/light activity). If significant comfort loss occurs, it might be time for a replacement.
Trainers appear dirty or stained
Follow the 'Care' instructions provided. For stubborn stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.
Squeaking sound while walking
This can sometimes be due to insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If the sole itself squeaks, ensure the shoes are completely dry, as moisture can sometimes be a cause.
Fading or scuffing on reflective details
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on reflective areas. Store shoes away from direct sunlight to minimize fading. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care
Proper care can significantly extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers:
- Cleaning:
- Remove loose dirt and debris using a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth.
- Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing a small amount of mild detergent (like dish soap) with cold water.
- Gently scrub the mesh, synthetic overlays, and outsole with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with the solution.
- Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials, adhesives, and the cushioning system.
- Drying: Air dry trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation or fading.
- Odor Control: To prevent odors, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda inside the trainers when not in use. Ensure the baking soda is removed before wearing.
