FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 2010 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. While they offer good support, they are not intended for high-intensity distance running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and gently dab the mesh. Avoid soaking the material to protect the internal construction.
Can I use custom orthotics with these trainers?
Yes, the internal space is generally compatible with aftermarket orthotic insoles, provided the existing insole is removable.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB sole?
ABZORB is a proprietary foam blend that provides exceptional shock absorption, significantly reducing impact forces on the feet and joints.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a well-ventilated, dry environment to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth, which can damage the suede.
Are the New Balance 2010 trainers waterproof?
No, they are made of suede and mesh, which are porous materials that are not waterproof. We recommend using a water-repellent spray specifically for suede if you live in a rainy climate.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized dry suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing or loss of shape
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original structure of the upper.
Odors after frequent use
Remove the insole to air out and use an odor-neutralizing spray specifically designed for footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2010 Trainers, proper care is essential, especially regarding the suede elements. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede fibers and adhesive bonds. For daily maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and debris from the diamond-knit mesh and suede panels. If the suede becomes stained, use a dedicated suede eraser and a soft cloth to spot-clean the area. To maintain shape, store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. When sizing, these trainers generally adhere to standard adult sizing, but it is recommended to ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe for optimal comfort.
