FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature design cues from running shoes, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use. We recommend specific performance models for long-distance running.

How should I clean the leather?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather-safe conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from drying out.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions, though fit can vary by individual foot shape.

What is the primary benefit of ABZORB?

ABZORB is designed to provide superior cushioning and resistance to compression, which absorbs impact forces during walking.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Always clean by hand.

What surface types are these best for?

They are designed for urban environments, including pavement, concrete, and interior flooring.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather upper

This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to minimize deep creases and maintain shape.

Difficulty cleaning synthetic mesh or cut-outs

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently lift dirt from the cut-out areas without applying excessive pressure.

Sole losing its bounce

If the cushioning feels compressed, ensure the shoes are not being left in extreme temperatures, which can affect the performance of the foam material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact protection thanks to ABZORB technology
  • Stylish, versatile design that pairs well with casual outfits
  • High-quality leather construction for durability
  • Comfortable fit suitable for all-day wear

Cons

  • Leather material requires specific cleaning methods
  • Not intended for heavy-duty long-distance running
  • Synthetic cut-outs may collect debris if worn in harsh conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 1890 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  • Breaking In: Like most leather trainers, these may require a brief period to contour to your foot shape; wear them for short durations initially.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning on leather portions, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper when not in use.
