FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 1890 is designed as a versatile shoe for everyday wear and walking, not as a specialized high-performance running shoe.
How do I determine my size?
New Balance sizes are standard UK sizing; refer to a professional foot measurement if you are unsure of your current size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional support.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the 1890 series is designed to be compatible with a wide range of foot shapes across all genders.
How often should I clean the exterior?
Wipe down the shoes after exposure to dirt or moisture to keep the materials in good condition.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
It provides exceptional shock absorption, which helps protect your joints and feet from impact during daily movement.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly.
Discomfort during initial wear
Ensure the shoe is the correct size and allow for a short break-in period for the foam to contour to your foot.
Upper material showing signs of wear
Use a specialized leather or synthetic cleaner depending on the specific model's upper finish and avoid harsh scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1890s maintain their performance, perform a quick check for fit during your first wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug but not restrictive feel across the midfoot. For maintenance, it is recommended to spot clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the ABZORB foam and the upper materials. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
