FAQs

Are these trainers good for running?

The ABZORB 2000 trainers feature running-inspired design and cushioning, making them comfortable for walking and light activities. However, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and may not offer the specialized support needed for intense running.

What does ABZORB mean in these trainers?

ABZORB refers to New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that combines comfort and stability, designed to absorb impact effectively. ABZORB SBS pods provide additional targeted cushioning.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to check the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or at retailer sites. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is the most accurate method. Trying them on in-store is also ideal if possible.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks for optimal comfort and hygiene. Various sock types can be paired depending on personal preference and weather.

What is the main inspiration behind the ABZORB 2000 design?

The design draws inspiration from special running-inspired footwear classics from the early 2000s, blended with a progressive, experimental, and futuristic aesthetic.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

Product information does not specify width options for this model. It is best to check individual retailer listings or consult New Balance customer service for specific width availability.

How should I clean the grey and silver colorway?

For the grey and silver colorway, use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, they may need a break-in period or consider if the size is appropriate.

Discomfort during initial wear

This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Check lacing for pressure points.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.

Dirt or stains on the upper

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
