FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam blend that provides superior shock absorption and cushioning, ensuring comfort and reducing impact during walking and standing.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While inspired by running shoe technology from the 2000s, the New Balance ABZORB 2000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear trainer, offering exceptional comfort for everyday use.
How do I find my correct size?
The trainers are available in UK size 5.5. For best fit, we recommend consulting the official New Balance sizing chart and measuring your foot length. It's often helpful to try on trainers towards the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the spot cleaning and air-drying instructions in the 'Care' section.
What is the upper material made of?
Info needed: Specific upper material composition is not provided, but it features a minimalist design with a blend of materials common in trainers for breathability and support.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The full-length ABZORB cushioning system inherently provides a supportive and comfortable footbed. For individuals requiring specific arch support, custom insoles can often be used in conjunction with the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during wear.
Ensure the trainers are the correct size and width. Adjust lacing for a more secure or relaxed fit. Consider wearing appropriate athletic socks designed to prevent friction.
Trainers appear dirty or scuffed after light use.
Regularly spot clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. For persistent marks, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for trainer materials may be effective. Avoid letting dirt build up.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
The lifespan of cushioning can vary with usage. While ABZORB is durable, consistent heavy use may lead to some compression. Ensure proper storage and cleaning can help maintain material integrity. Consider replacing trainers if comfort significantly degrades.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers, follow these general care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the affected area.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, remove the laces and insoles. Hand wash with a gentle detergent. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can distort the shape and damage the cushioning.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong cleaning agents, as they can discolour or degrade the materials.
