FAQs
What makes the ABZORB midsole special?
The ABZORB midsole technology provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, designed to reduce impact on your feet and joints. The segmented design in the 2010 model offers a modern take on this classic feature.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 2010 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for the specific demands of high-impact running.
How do I clean the suede parts without damaging them?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners directly on the suede, as this can cause staining or damage. Specialized suede cleaning products are recommended.
What is the 'Stability Web Outsole' feature?
The Stability Web is a component in the outsole that provides torsional rigidity, helping to control foot motion and offer added support and stability during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers feature a rubber outsole for traction, but the mesh upper and suede overlays are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials.
What does 'progressive design' mean in the context of these trainers?
'Progressive design' refers to the modern, forward-thinking aesthetic that combines new styling elements with familiar comfort and materials. In this case, it refers to the updated, larger proportions of the ABZORB sole unit and the overall silhouette.
Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?
The New Balance 2010 Trainers are available in various colors and sizes. Please refer to the product listings or website for available options.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Mesh upper feels stiff or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. The mesh should become more flexible with light wear.
Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but some highly polished or wet surfaces may be inherently slippery. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For persistent issues on specific surfaces, consider professional advice.
Shoes feel too tight after wearing for a while.
Verify you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may require a brief break-in period. Try loosening the laces slightly.

Compatibility: The New Balance 2010 Trainers are designed for casual wear and light training activities. They are compatible with various casual outfits, from jeans to shorts. They are not designed for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Mesh Upper: Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap solution with water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid soaking the mesh.

- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Stubborn marks can be removed with a mild soap solution.
