FAQs

What materials are used in the New Balance 1000?

The New Balance 1000 features a combination of breathable mesh, velvety black suede, and supple leather for its upper, ensuring both comfort and durability.

Is the New Balance 1000 suitable for running or athletic activities?

While the New Balance 1000 incorporates comfort technology like ABZORB cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and casual use, not for high-performance running or athletic training.

How do I clean my New Balance 1000 sneakers?

For mesh, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance foam material that provides exceptional shock absorption and cushioning, distributing impact forces effectively to enhance comfort.

Are these shoes true to size?

New Balance sizing can sometimes vary. It is generally recommended to refer to the New Balance sizing guide if you are unsure, or try them on to ensure the best fit.

Is the New Balance 1000 a unisex shoe?

Yes, the New Balance 1000 in Black is designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinsert the insole.

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure your laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks; breathable, cushioned socks can significantly improve comfort. Allow for a break-in period as new shoes often need time to conform to your foot.

Care: To ensure the longevity and appearance of your New Balance 1000:

  • Cleaning the Mesh: Gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Cleaning the Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and scuffs. For deeper cleaning, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used, following product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning the Leather: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a leather conditioner or cleaner can be applied sparingly.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
