FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Abzorb 2000 trainers are inspired by running shoes and offer excellent cushioning, making them great for walking and light training. However, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes for intense athletic training.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by New Balance. The shoes should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. Ensure your heel does not slip when walking.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, wearing socks is recommended for comfort and hygiene. Thinner to medium-thickness socks are generally best to ensure a proper fit within the trainers.

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It helps absorb impact and provides a responsive feel, reducing stress on your feet.

How do ABZORB SBS pods differ from regular ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB SBS pods are specifically engineered for enhanced stability and targeted cushioning, often placed in key areas of the sole to provide extra support and shock absorption where it's needed most.

What is the best way to clean the grey material?

For the grey material, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The Abzorb 2000 series is available in various colorways and sibling products, though this specific guide focuses on the grey variant. Please check product listings for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Tingling or numbness in feet after wearing

Ensure you have the correct size. Wearing shoes that are too small or too large can cause discomfort and circulation issues. Consider trying a half-size up or down. Also, ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The ABZORB cushioning may compress slightly with extensive use. Regularly clean the shoes and allow them to air out. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it may be time to consider a replacement pair after prolonged wear.

Squeaking noise from the shoes

This can sometimes occur if moisture gets trapped between layers or if the insole is loose. Try removing the insole, drying both it and the inside of the shoe thoroughly, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. No initial setup is required.

Compatibility: The New Balance Abzorb 2000 trainers are designed for unisex adult use. Their sizing is based on UK adult foot sizes.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the upper and sole. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the cushioning and materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack.
  3. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
  4. Laces: Inspect laces regularly for wear and tear. Clean or replace as needed.
