FAQs
What material are the New Balance 1000 trainers made of?
These trainers feature a combination of leather and suede for the upper construction.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dry suede brush for general dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions. Avoid excessive water on suede.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they feature ABZORB cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not high-impact running.
What does ABZORB cushioning do?
ABZORB is New Balance's patented cushioning technology that absorbs shock, providing a comfortable and supportive feel.
How does the Stability Web midfoot shank help?
The Stability Web provides enhanced support and stability to the midfoot, helping to prevent excessive twisting and improving overall comfort.
Can I wear these trainers if I have wide feet?
These are unisex trainers and may fit differently depending on foot width. It's recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart or try them on if possible.
What is the origin of the New Balance 1000 model?
The New Balance 1000 model was originally released in 1999 and is now reissued to capture its distinctive turn-of-the-millennium aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather or suede shoes. Try flexing the shoe or adding a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if it's removable.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather and suede shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and consider if insoles might help.
Scuff marks on suede
For minor scuffs, a suede brush can often lift the nap and minimize their appearance. For deeper marks, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner might be necessary.
Color transfer from suede
Suede can sometimes transfer color, especially when new or wet. Ensure socks worn with the shoes are of a similar color, or consider using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
