FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Abzorb cushioning?

The Abzorb midsole provides excellent shock absorption and resists compression, offering superior cushioning and comfort that lasts throughout the day.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 1890 Trainers have a running-inspired construction for support, but they are primarily designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. For intense or high-impact running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the leather overlays?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the pigskin leather overlays. For tougher stains, a leather cleaner specifically designed for pigskin or nubuck might be suitable, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What materials are used in the New Balance 1890 Trainers?

The trainers are constructed with synthetic materials, genuine pigskin leather overlays, and textile elements for the upper, with a rubber outsole and an Abzorb midsole.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What does 'running-inspired construction' mean for comfort?

This means the shoe's design incorporates elements from classic running shoe technology, such as enhanced support structures and cushioning, to provide a stable and comfortable base for daily activities.

How breathable are the mesh panels?

The airy mesh panels are designed to facilitate optimal foot ventilation, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable, especially during warmer weather or extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner socks or exploring socks designed for cushioning. If the shoes consistently feel too small, you may need to try a different size.

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, extremely wet or slippery surfaces can be challenging. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that might impair grip.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
