FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that absorbs impact and provides a responsive feel, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue during wear.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a soft cloth, working in one direction. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While the 1000 series features performance-inspired technology like ABZORB and Stability Web, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They offer good comfort and support for everyday activities but are not intended for high-impact sports.

What does 'Stability Web' do?

The Stability Web is a shank located in the midfoot of the sole, designed to provide torsional rigidity and enhance overall support and stability for the foot.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks for optimal comfort and fit.

How do I find my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart, which typically includes measurements for foot length. Comparing your foot measurement to the chart will help you identify the corresponding UK size.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from leather, featuring reversed suede overlays and underlays for a distinctive look.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, it may indicate the shoe's lifespan is nearing its end. Ensure you are not exposing them to excessive heat, which can degrade cushioning.

Stitching appears loose

For minor loose threads, carefully trim with small scissors. If stitching is significantly compromised, it may be best to consult a cobbler for repair to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard sock wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Due to the suede and leather construction, spot cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended for general dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid machine washing.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
