Product Information
Full details
The New Balance ABZORB 2000 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of futuristic aesthetics and advanced cushioning technology, inspired by early 2000s running shoes. Their key benefit is the significant comfort and impact absorption provided by the full-length ABZORB cushioning and ABZORB SBS pods. A potential caveat is that the experimental design might not suit those preferring a more traditional look. This shoe features a mesh upper with synthetic overlays for support, reflective details for visibility, a robust rubber outsole for durability, and incorporates New Balance's signature ABZORB midsole and ABZORB SBS pods for superior shock absorption.

FAQs
What is ABZORB technology?

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide and measure your foot. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as foot shape and width can influence fit.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the New Balance sizing chart and ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Different models can have slight variations in fit.
Reduced cushioning over time
While ABZORB technology is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider cleaning them as per instructions to ensure no debris is affecting the feel.
Reflective details appear to be fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents, which can degrade reflective materials. Gentle cleaning and proper storage will help maintain their reflectivity.
