FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a superior cushioning and shock-absorption technology developed by New Balance. It helps to absorb impact and provides a responsive feel underfoot, enhancing comfort during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes and featuring excellent cushioning, the New Balance 2000 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. For intense or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the trainers if they get dirty?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
What does 'SBS pods' mean?
SBS stands for Strobel Board. ABZORB SBS pods are specific zones within the shoe's construction that provide enhanced, targeted cushioning and support in key impact areas.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, the New Balance 2000 Trainers are designed as unisex footwear, making them suitable for individuals of all genders.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper material varies slightly by specific model, but this particular variant features a combination of Leather and potentially other materials like Polyester or Nylon, reflecting its minimalist-influenced design.
How should I store my New Balance 2000 Trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit upon first wear.
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Cushioning feels too firm.
Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, the ABZORB cushioning may need time to adapt to your foot's shape. For immediate added softness, consider inserting aftermarket insoles designed for extra cushioning.
Scuffs or marks on the leather upper.
Gently clean the area with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. For scuffs, a black shoe polish matching the trainer's color can help restore the finish. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles showing wear after moderate use.
While designed for comfort and style, the outsoles are not intended for high-impact or abrasive activities. For heavy use, consider rotating with a more robust training shoe. Keep the soles clean to maintain grip.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Leather Care: For the leather components, use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
