FAQs
Are the New Balance 2010 'Grey Days' suitable for athletic activities like running?
While very comfortable, the New Balance 2010 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. It provides excellent comfort for everyday wear but is not optimized for high-performance athletic activities.
What does ABZORB SBS cushioning do?
ABZORB SBS is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption and responsive cushioning, primarily used in the rear and forefoot for enhanced comfort and impact protection.
How should I clean the different materials on the upper?
For mesh and synthetic areas, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Is the 'vintage yellow' midsole a defect?
No, the segmented vintage yellow midsole is a deliberate design element of the New Balance 2010 'Grey Days', contributing to its unique aesthetic and drawing inspiration from classic New Balance designs.
What materials are used in the construction of the shoe?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather, textile (mesh), and synthetic materials, with a synthetic sole.
What is the significance of the 'Grey Days' collection?
The 'Grey Days' collection celebrates New Balance's iconic use of grey in its footwear, often associated with the brand's heritage and versatile style. Shoes from this collection feature distinct grey color palettes and premium materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or cleaner designed for sneakers.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time
The ABZORB SBS cushioning is designed for durability, but regular wear will compress it. Ensure you are allowing the shoes to air out between uses. Consider replacing insoles if significant cushioning loss is perceived.
Reflective 'N' logos appear dull
Ensure the surface of the reflective logo is clean. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Reflective elements require light to activate, so they will only appear bright when illuminated directly.

Care & Maintenance
To maintain the pristine look and longevity of your New Balance 2010 shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Due to the combination of leather, textile (mesh), and synthetic materials, spot cleaning is recommended.
- For mesh and synthetic areas, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water.
- For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for tougher stains. Avoid saturating suede with water.
- For leather areas, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary.
- Midsole & Outsole: Clean the rubber midsole and synthetic sole with a damp cloth and mild detergent. A soft brush can help remove dirt from treads.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your New Balance 2010 sneakers as this can damage the materials and construction.
