Product Information
Full details
The New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of modern style and familiar comfort, particularly for everyday wear and light training. Their key benefit lies in the distinctive, larger-than-usual segmented ABZORB sole, offering a unique aesthetic and cushioning. A potential consideration is that the progressive design might be a departure from very traditional trainer styles.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed for casual wear and light training. They offer cushioning for everyday comfort but are not engineered for the demands of marathon running.

What material is the upper made of?
The upper features a combination of diamond-knit mesh for breathability and suede for a premium look and feel.
How does the 'progressive design' differ from classic trainers?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean and lift the nap. For stubborn marks, apply a suede cleaner following product instructions.
Mesh upper feels stiff
The mesh will naturally soften with wear. Gentle wear will help it conform to your foot shape.
Discomfort during extended wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes with shorter periods of wear initially. Consider if the shoe's intended use (casual/light training) aligns with your activity.
Sole shows signs of wear
This is normal with use. For significant wear affecting performance, it may be time to consider replacement.
