FAQs
What does ABZORB mean in these trainers?
ABZORB refers to New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide optimal shock absorption and a responsive feel, helping to reduce impact during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While inspired by running shoes and offering excellent cushioning, the ABZORB 2000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual athletic trainer. For rigorous or competitive running, dedicated running shoe models are recommended.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The trainers typically come with a standard insole that may be removable. Check if the insole can be taken out to accommodate custom orthotics or insoles, though this may vary by specific design.
What is the main difference between ABZORB and ABZORB SBS pods?
ABZORB refers to the general cushioning technology, while ABZORB SBS pods are specific enhancements often placed in key impact zones to provide targeted cushioning and support.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their website or the retailer's page. Measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements for UK, EU, or US sizes.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details and terms.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from breathable materials suitable for dry conditions and general wear. They do not offer protection against significant water exposure.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have consulted the New Balance size chart and measured your foot accurately. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or consulting with a footwear specialist.
Cushioning feels too firm or too soft
The ABZORB cushioning is designed to provide a balance of softness and responsiveness. Break-in time may be required. If the sensation persists, it may not align with your personal comfort preference.
Outer material shows wear quickly
Avoid exposing the trainers to abrasive surfaces or harsh chemicals. Clean regularly as per care instructions to maintain material integrity.

Care:
