Full details

The New Balance Abzorb 1890 trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, everyday shoe that merges athletic heritage with a modern aesthetic. Featuring the signature ABZORB midsole technology, these trainers provide exceptional shock absorption and comfort for long periods of wear, making them ideal for daily commuting or casual walking. While the shoe offers excellent support and style, users should note that the suede construction requires careful maintenance to preserve the material's texture and appearance over time.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature heritage running technology, they are designed primarily for lifestyle and daily comfort, not as dedicated performance running shoes.

How do I know if the size is correct?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe; manual cleaning is highly recommended.

What does ABZORB mean?

ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance midsole cushioning foam that provides excellent shock absorption and comfort.

Are these waterproof?

The suede and textile materials are not waterproof. We recommend using a suede-safe water repellent spray to protect against light rain.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or stains on the suede upper

Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently lift stains; avoid liquid cleaning agents unless specifically designed for suede.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and consider a double-knot for extra security during long walks.

Squeaking noises while walking

Ensure the insole is seated correctly inside the shoe. If it persists, check if moisture is trapped between the insole and the midsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior shock absorption via ABZORB technology
  • Versatile design suitable for various casual outfits
  • High-quality suede finish provides a premium aesthetic
  • Padded collar enhances overall comfort for long wear
  • Rugged outsole offers dependable traction

Cons

  • Suede material requires specialized cleaning products
  • Less suitable for heavy-duty off-road trail running
  • Light-coloured elements may show dirt more easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1890 trainers, consistent maintenance is essential.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear.
  2. Allow the foam midsole to settle to your foot shape after the initial few days of use.

Compatibility:

  • These trainers are unisex in design, making them compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual wardrobes.

Care Instructions:

  • Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust from the suede upper.
  • Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the adhesives.
  • If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
