FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam material that provides superior shock absorption and cushioning. It helps to disperse impact forces, offering a comfortable and supportive feel underfoot during everyday activities.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

While the New Balance 2010 is inspired by 2000s running technology and offers excellent cushioning, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and daily comfort, not for high-performance running training.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. A suede eraser can treat scuffs and minor stains. For more stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth (and spot-tested) is recommended. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

What does 'Grey Days' collection mean?

The 'Grey Days' collection celebrates New Balance's iconic use of grey in its footwear. It features models that highlight the brand's heritage and timeless design language, often incorporating varying shades and textures of grey.

Is the yellowed midsole an intentional design feature?

Yes, the yellowed midsole is an intentional design choice to give the New Balance 2010 Sneaker a vintage, aged aesthetic, drawing inspiration from retro footwear designs.

Are these sneakers true to size?

New Balance generally aims for true-to-size fits. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit for your feet.

Do the 'N' logos on the side reflect light?

Yes, the 'N' logos on the sidewalls of the New Balance 2010 Sneaker are designed to be reflective, adding a distinct visual element and enhancing low-light visibility.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid liquid cleaners on suede unless specifically designed for it and spot test first.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room if needed. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for a slight break-in, especially with new materials.

Yellowed midsole seems discolored or stained.

The yellowed midsole is a design feature for a vintage look. If actual stains occur, clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could alter the material.

Loss of cushioning feel over time.

Over extended periods of use, cushioning materials can compress. While ABZORB is durable, consistent heavy impact can reduce its responsiveness. Ensure proper fit and replace insoles if necessary for renewed comfort.

Reflective 'N' logo appears scratched or less reflective.

Gently wipe the logo with a soft, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, which could damage the reflective coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Your New Balance 2010 Sneakers arrive ready to wear. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, insert your feet, and adjust the lace-up closure for a secure and comfortable fit. We recommend lacing them to your preferred tightness, ensuring they are snug but not restrictive.

Compatibility:

These sneakers are designed for versatile casual wear. They complement a wide range of outfits, from athletic shorts and t-shirts to jeans and casual trousers. Their unisex design makes them suitable for all adults, seamlessly integrating into diverse personal styles. They are best suited for urban environments, casual outings, and everyday activities, rather than specialized sports or heavy-duty outdoor conditions.

Care:

Proper care will help maintain the aesthetic and lifespan of your 2010 Sneakers:

  1. General Cleaning: For mesh and leather areas, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub to remove surface dirt.
  2. Suede Cleaning: Suede requires special attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For deeper stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with a suede cleaner and blot the affected area. Avoid oversaturating the suede.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity.
  5. Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
