FAQs
What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ABZORB SBS is a New Balance technology that uses specific cushioning pods designed to provide excellent shock absorption and comfort in the heel and forefoot areas of the shoe.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ABZORB 2010 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the specific support or performance required for intense running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the provided UK sizing guide. Trying them on in person is always the best method for ensuring a perfect fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede and mesh materials. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does 'Cortado' mesh refer to?
'Cortado' mesh is the specific name given to the mesh material used in the upper of this shoe model, contributing to its breathability and construction.
How do the reflective accents work?
The reflective accents are designed to catch and reflect light sources, such as headlights, making the wearer more visible in low-light conditions. This enhances safety during evening or early morning activities.
What is the material of the overlays?
The overlays on this trainer model are made from 'Thunder Brown' suede, which adds texture, durability, and a premium aesthetic to the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on sole
Ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive or uneven stress during activities. Check if the fit is correct; an improper fit can lead to uneven wear patterns.
Suede material appears dull or stained
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
ABZORB cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities that exceed their intended purpose. Rotate shoes if possible to allow them to rest and recover.
Reflective accents losing reflectivity
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals or excessive scrubbing on reflective areas. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Reflectivity can diminish with significant abrasion or age.

Care Instructions:
- Uppers: For the 'Cortado' mesh and 'Thunder Brown' suede, it is recommended to use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains on suede, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser can be used carefully. Avoid soaking the trainers in water.
- Midsoles: The segmented ABZORB sole unit and translucent TPU shank can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a mesh bag in the washing machine.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight to prevent material damage. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
