FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ABZORB 2010 trainers feature excellent cushioning for comfort and impact absorption, making them suitable for daily wear and light training. However, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes for competitive marathon distances. For marathon running, specialized running shoes offering more advanced support and responsiveness are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size for a unisex model?
It is best to consult the New Balance official sizing guide provided with the product or on their website. Generally, unisex sizing runs larger than women's specific sizing. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided chart, often converting men's sizes to women's if needed.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The harshness of a washing machine can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system of the trainers, especially the mesh and nubuck components.
What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ABZORB SBS is a specialized cushioning technology by New Balance that combines foam and rubber elements to provide superior shock absorption and support. It is designed to reduce the impact felt with each step, offering a comfortable experience.
Do the reflective accents meet safety standards?
The reflective accents are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions by reflecting ambient light. While they add a safety feature, they do not typically meet specific high-visibility safety certifications required for professional work environments.
What is the primary difference between the 2010 and other New Balance series like the 990 or 991?
The ABZORB 2010 takes inspiration from older series like the 99x, merging their classic design elements with newer contemporary styles like the 9060. While the 99x series often emphasizes traditional craftsmanship and stability, the 2010 focuses on a modernized interpretation with updated cushioning and a more progressive silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for unisex models. Ensure you are measuring your foot correctly. If possible, try on a pair in-store or consider ordering half a size up or down based on your experience with similar footwear.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear the trainers for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Nubuck material showing scuffs
Use a suede eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaner to gently buff out light scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Reflective accents losing reflectivity
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on reflective surfaces. If reflectivity is significantly diminished, it may be due to wear and tear rather than a defect.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the 'Phantom' mesh and nubuck, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is lodged in the segmented sole units or the TPU shank.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash separately if needed.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
