FAQs
Are New Balance 2010 trainers suitable for running?
While they utilize athletic-inspired technology like ABZORB, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated high-performance running shoes.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Does the leather require a water-repellent spray?
It is recommended to use a high-quality, leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the surface from light exposure.
Is the 2010 model true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK adult sizing, but consider your preferred roominess when choosing your size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the leather and degrade the adhesive bonding of the sole unit. Always clean by hand.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed to be worn by anyone, provided the available UK size corresponds to your foot dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs
Use a specialized leather eraser or a small amount of leather conditioner on a soft cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Soles appearing dirty
The segmented design can trap debris; use an old soft-bristled toothbrush to clear dust and grit from the crevices of the sole unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2010 trainers stay in optimal condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. To clean, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt, and wipe the leather gently with a slightly damp cloth using a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack or warp the leather. Ensure you check the sizing carefully, as these trainers follow standard UK adult foot sizing.
