FAQs
Are the New Balance 1000 suitable for running?
The New Balance 1000 trainers feature ABZORB cushioning for comfort, but they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle use rather than high-impact athletic activities like running.
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary technology that provides shock absorption and a responsive feel, helping to reduce impact on the feet and joints.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, available on their official website or through reputable retailers, to find the best UK size for your foot measurement. Ensure you are measuring your foot accurately.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Spot clean using the care instructions provided.
What does 'Stability Web' refer to?
The Stability Web is an element integrated into the midsole, typically in the midfoot, designed to provide torsional support and enhance the shoe's overall stability.
How does the mesh upper differ from previous models?
The relaunched 1000 model features a base layer of mesh with prominent synthetic overlays. The mesh is visible between these panels, contributing to its refined, tech-inspired aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, wearing them with thinner socks might help. They may also loosen up with wear as the materials adapt.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe components. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, it might be related to the internal construction and may lessen with continued wear.
Discoloration on the upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If minor discoloration occurs, try cleaning with a damp cloth. For significant discoloration, professional cleaning might be an option, but consult with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean, damp cloth to remove residue.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
