FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 1000 Trainers feature ABZORB cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-intensity running. For dedicated running, consider specialized New Balance running shoe models.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance official size chart. Measure your foot length and compare it with the corresponding UK size. It's also helpful to read customer reviews regarding fit if available.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning of the trainers.

What is the main difference between this and other New Balance trainers?

The 1000 series is a direct reissue of a specific late 90s model, characterized by its unique design elements from that era, including the inverted suede construction and segmented sole, combined with classic ABZORB technology.

Are the beige trainers waterproof?

The trainers are made from leather and suede, which offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a DuPont™ ENCAP and/or C-CAP midsole technology that provides excellent shock absorption, resisting heel-strike forces and helping to cushion the impact.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a powder or a thin sock liner to reduce friction. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can sometimes cause pressure points.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consult the sizing chart if unsure.

Leather or suede looks dull

Apply a specific leather or suede conditioner/cleaner according to product instructions. Use a soft brush for suede to restore its nap.
