FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?

What does ABZORB mean in the midsole?
ABZORB refers to New Balance's patented technology that provides a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure laces are securely knotted. Consider replacing them with different length or textured laces for better grip.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If the issue persists, consider the next size up or a wider fit if available in other variants.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
While the N-ergy outsole provides good grip, performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole to ensure optimal tread contact.
