FAQs
What is ABZORB® cushioning?
ABZORB® is a scientifically engineered cushioning material from New Balance that provides optimal shock absorption and responsiveness, helping to reduce the impact on your feet.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel too tight across the width.
Can I wear these for running?
The New Balance 1000 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of running.
What does 'Stability Web' mean?
The Stability Web is a component in the midfoot of the shoe that provides torsional rigidity and support, helping to maintain the shoe's structure and your foot's stability.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the primary materials are mesh and synthetic overlays, which are breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for dry to mildly damp conditions.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular light cleaning will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common for new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow them to mold to your feet.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are using the correct shoe for the activity. These are designed for casual wear, not high-impact sports. Check for any gait issues that might require professional advice.
Difficulty cleaning intricate areas
Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mild cleaning solution to gently scrub dirt from seams and textured areas.
