FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel, offering comfort and support.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the ABZORB 2000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for comfort and casual wear. For dedicated high-impact running, specific running performance shoes are recommended.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot to determine the best UK adult foot size. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snug or roomier).

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper combines various materials, including synthetic elements and textiles, contributing to the shoe's lightweight feel and minimalist aesthetic.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and materials. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent only.

What is the main design inspiration?

The design is inspired by the distinctive features of notable 2000s running-inspired classic shoes, reinterpreted into a progressive, all-new style.

Is this model available in other colors?

Availability of colors can vary. Please check the product listings for current color options. This guide focuses on the Grey variant.

Troubleshooting

Uneven cushioning feel

Ensure the shoe is worn correctly and laces are adjusted for a snug fit. Uneven wear patterns can develop over time; rotate with other footwear if possible.

Sole feels stiff initially

The ABZORB cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Color transfer from upper to socks

This can occur with new footwear, especially in darker colors. Wash socks separately for the first few wears. Consider treating the interior with a fabric protector, following product instructions.
