FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning technology from New Balance that provides excellent shock absorption and a comfortable feel.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 1000 Trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They feature cushioning and support but are not specialized running shoes.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart or measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the provided sizing guide. The description lists this model as UK size 8.5.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and cushioning components. Hand wash or spot clean only, following care instructions.
What is the 'Stability Web' feature?
The Stability Web is a midfoot shank designed to provide torsional rigidity and support, helping to maintain the shoe's structure and your foot's natural motion.
Is the beige color true to the original 1999 release?
This reissue aims to capture the spirit of the original 1999 design, including its color palettes and styling. The beige leather offers a refined take on the retro aesthetic.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit or discomfort on first wear
The leather and suede may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a leather repair product specifically designed for the color of your trainers.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of the same length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any standard athletic shoelaces of the appropriate size will work.
