FAQs
What is the main technology used for cushioning?
The trainers feature ABZORB cushioning in both the heel and forefoot, which provides excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning and support for everyday wear, the New Balance 1000 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between models.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The trainers offer standard arch support. If you use custom orthotics, you may need to remove the existing insole, depending on the thickness of your orthotics and desired fit.
What does 'Stability Web shank' do?
The Stability Web shank is located in the midfoot and provides structural support, helping to maintain the shoe's shape and offer a more stable walking experience.
How should I clean the reflective accents?
Clean reflective accents gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaners, as this could damage the reflective coating.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel difficult to adjust.
Ensure the nylon eyelets are clear of debris. Try loosening the laces completely before re-adjusting for a snug, comfortable fit.
Soles feel stiff initially.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
Discoloration on upper materials.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat.
