FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ABZORB 2000 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, a shoe specifically engineered for high-impact, long-distance running would be more appropriate.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size in unisex sizing?

It is crucial to consult the New Balance size chart provided for unisex footwear. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structure of the trainers. Hand-wash or wipe them clean according to the care instructions.

What is the main benefit of the ABZORB technology?

ABZORB technology is designed to provide excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Are these trainers good for wide feet?

These trainers come in a standard width (D). While they may accommodate some wider feet, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them less comfortable than shoes specifically designed for wider fits.

How often should I clean my ABZORB 2000 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after activities that cause them to get dirty. Regular light cleaning helps maintain their appearance and material integrity.

What does 'SBS pods' mean in the description?

SBS stands for 'Shore-Based' or 'Stability, Bounce, Support'. In this context, ABZORB SBS pods are specific cushioning units within the midsole that provide enhanced stability and shock absorption in key areas.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect sizing leading to discomfort

Refer to the New Balance size chart carefully for unisex sizing. If possible, try on a pair in-store. Ensure the heel counter is snug and there's adequate room in the toe box.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt buildup can affect sole performance. Consider replacing the shoes if significant wear is evident.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance on very wet surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution on slick conditions. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might impede grip.

Upper material showing wear

Follow the recommended care instructions for cleaning. Avoid excessive exposure to abrasive elements or harsh conditions. For minor scuffs on synthetic parts, a specialized shoe cleaner or a slightly damp cloth may help.

  • Versatile unisex sizing option.

Cons

  • Unisex sizing may require extra attention to ensure a correct fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Ensure you select the correct size by consulting the New Balance size chart, paying close attention to the unisex sizing.

Compatibility: Suitable for unisex adult wear. Designed for everyday use and light training activities. The standard width (D) fits most users, but individuals with exceptionally wide or narrow feet may find them less ideal.

Care Instructions: To maintain the condition of your New Balance ABZORB 2000 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the synthetic and mesh materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve their shape and material integrity.
