FAQs

Are the New Balance 2000 suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the primary focus of the New Balance 2000 is on style and everyday comfort with advanced cushioning. They are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities rather than intense athletic training.

What makes the ABZORB cushioning special?

ABZORB is a superior cushioning and stability technology that absorbs shock and helps minimize impact, providing a comfortable and responsive feel underfoot. The addition of ABZORB SBS pods further enhances this effect.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness across the width of the foot.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The mesh upper is not waterproof. While the rubber outsole offers some grip, these trainers are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.

What does 'SBS pods' mean in relation to the cushioning?

SBS stands for 'Stability, Balance, and Support'. ABZORB SBS pods are specific cushioning units designed to provide enhanced stability and shock absorption in key areas of the midsole.

Is the design unisex?

Yes, the trainers are designed with a unisex appeal, making them suitable for individuals of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Cushioning feels too firm initially

The ABZORB cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for a few short walks to allow them to mold to your feet.

Slight discomfort in the arch area

Ensure you have the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional arch support, as these trainers are designed with a standard footbed.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet or slippery surfaces can be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Mesh upper appears to be stretching excessively

The mesh is designed for breathability and some flexibility. Ensure the shoe is properly laced to provide adequate support. If excessive stretching is a concern, check for any defects, though this is uncommon with proper use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior cushioning and shock absorption for all-day comfort.
  • Unique, forward-thinking design that stands out.
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool.
  • Durable construction with synthetic overlays and rubber outsole.
  • Enhanced visibility with reflective detailing.

Cons

  • The experimental design may not appeal to all style preferences.
  • May offer less support than specialized athletic shoes for intense sports.
  • Limited colorways compared to some other models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most casual outfits and suitable for adult unisex wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic parts with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their appearance and material integrity.
