FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the ABZORB foam technology. Always hand clean with a soft brush.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While comfortable for walking, these are designed as everyday lifestyle trainers and not as technical running shoes.
Does the size UK 13.5 fit true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent with standard UK measurements, though we recommend checking against your current pair of New Balance shoes for the best fit.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced with any standard-length athletic lace of your choosing.
Are they waterproof?
No, the polyester upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to penetrate if worn in heavy rain.
What is the primary material used?
This specific variant (MPN: U189093H) is constructed using high-quality polyester for the upper assembly.
Troubleshooting
Outer material shows signs of staining
Gently spot clean the affected area using a soft cloth and a mild soap-water solution, then let it air dry.
Insole feels less supportive over time
Check for debris under the insole and consider replacing with an aftermarket orthotic insert if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1890 trainers, keep them away from excessive moisture and store them in a cool, dry area. When cleaning, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and the foam integrity of the midsole. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spot cleaning. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
