Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 2000 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro running-inspired aesthetics and modern cushioning technology. Their key benefit lies in the advanced ABZORB and ABZORB SBS pod system, offering exceptional comfort and support. A potential consideration is that the progressive design, while unique, may appeal more to those who appreciate avant-garde style.

FAQs

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance, providing a balance of cushioning and support to help you go the distance.

Are these trainers good for running?

While inspired by running shoes and featuring advanced cushioning, the 2000 series is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for walking and light activities but may not provide the specialized support required for serious or high-impact running.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The trainers are made from a combination of materials including leather, polyester, and nylon, depending on the specific variant.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. Pay attention to the UK sizing provided. The fit can also be adjusted slightly with lacing techniques.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The materials used are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments. It's best to avoid excessive exposure to water.

What is the difference between ABZORB and ABZORB SBS?

ABZORB provides general cushioning and shock absorption, while ABZORB SBS (Shell-Based System) pods are specifically engineered for enhanced stability and targeted cushioning in key impact zones.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The primary color shown is black, but other variants may feature secondary colors like silver. Please check the product listings for available color options.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new cushioning. Try inserting a powder, like talc or cornstarch, under the insole. If the noise persists, it might indicate an issue with the sole adhesion.

Fit feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have the correct size by referring to the sizing chart. Laces can be adjusted for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Cushioning feels too firm initially

New Balance ABZORB cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort and shock absorption due to ABZORB technology.
  • Unique, forward-thinking design that stands out.
  • Durable construction suitable for everyday wear.
  • Versatile unisex sizing and design.
  • Good for individuals who appreciate visible cushioning tech.

Cons

  • The avant-garde design might not suit traditional style preferences.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Specific material combinations might not be ideal for extreme weather conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

Designed as unisex footwear, they are compatible with a wide range of adult foot sizes (UK 5 - UK 11.5 available in various listings).

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For leather and synthetic materials, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the midsole and outsole. For stubborn dirt on the sole, a soft brush can be used.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and damage.
