Product Information

Full details

The New Balance ABZORB 1890 trainers are designed for active adults seeking a reliable, supportive footwear option for daily activities and moderate exercise. The key benefit of these shoes is the signature ABZORB midsole cushioning, which provides exceptional impact absorption to reduce fatigue during extended wear; however, users should note that the mesh-focused construction is optimized for breathability rather than heavy-duty weatherproofing.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are primarily designed for walking, gym activities, and daily wear rather than high-performance distance running.

How do I know if the UK 5 is the right size?

You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to ensure proper fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and the cushioning properties of the ABZORB midsole; hand cleaning is recommended.

Are these waterproof?

No, the shoes are constructed with breathable mesh to maximize airflow, meaning they will not keep your feet dry in rain or wet conditions.

Do the shoes come with removable insoles?

Yes, the standard insoles are removable, which allows you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or debris in the mesh fabric

Allow the mud to dry completely before using a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge particles from the mesh weave.

Feeling of decreased cushioning over time

This is normal wear for high-mileage use; if discomfort persists, consider replacing the internal factory insole with an aftermarket orthotic insert.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption provided by the ABZORB midsole technology.
  • Breathable design prevents overheating during prolonged use.
  • Sturdy construction with durable overlays for increased longevity.
  • Reliable rubber outsole ensures grip and stability on different surfaces.
  • Neutral black and silver colorway is easy to pair with most casual outfits.

Cons

  • Not intended for technical terrain or professional long-distance trail running.
  • Mesh materials are susceptible to water penetration in wet weather.
  • Limited availability of specialized wide-width options in certain sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance trainers maintain their shape and support, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure the shoes are worn with your preferred thickness of athletic socks to test for proper arch and heel alignment.
  2. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and cold water solution; avoid machine washing or machine drying as this can damage the structural adhesives.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to stiffen or shrink.
  4. Rotation: If worn daily, rotate with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning foam to recover its shape, extending the overall life of the sneaker.
