Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1890 trainers are designed for adult men who seek a blend of retro-inspired aesthetics and modern athletic functionality for daily lifestyle use. Featuring the signature ABZORB cushioning technology, these shoes provide reliable impact absorption and comfort, though the mixed-material upper requires consistent care to maintain its appearance. These trainers are ideal for those who value both vintage style and the support required for light training or extended periods of walking.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The 1890 is designed as a lifestyle trainer with performance-inspired elements. While they provide excellent comfort, they are best suited for walking and light activity rather than long-distance running.
How should I clean the leather components?
Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the leather, and always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
What is the primary material used in the construction?
The upper is constructed using a combination of leather, mesh, and synthetic overlays to ensure both comfort and durability.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance typically offers consistent sizing. It is recommended to choose your standard athletic shoe size.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on mesh panels
Use a soft brush to gently loosen debris and wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth using mild soap.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
Check the outsole for lodged pebbles or excessive wear; clean the tread with a damp cloth to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1890 trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper contains leather and mesh, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried dirt from the mesh, and apply a specialized leather cleaner to the overlays to prevent cracking. For storage, keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally at room temperature with the insoles removed; avoid using heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials.
