Full details
The New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort, perfect for everyday wear and casual running.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed for comfort and style in everyday wear and light athletic activities. They are not recommended for high-intensity training or long-distance marathon running, as they lack the specialized support and cushioning required for such activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. As these are unisex trainers, consider that men's and women's sizing may differ. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing guide.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The trainers offer some protection due to their materials, but they are not waterproof. While the nubuck overlays provide some resistance, the mesh upper can absorb moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ABZORB SBS is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel, particularly in the heel and forefoot, enhancing overall comfort.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular spot cleaning and brushing the suede can help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
What is the main difference between the 2010 and other New Balance series like 99x?
The 2010 model integrates design elements from New Balance's 99x and 9060 series, offering a distinct look that bridges retro influences with contemporary aesthetics. While the 99x series is often known for its premium comfort and classic design, the 2010 specifically draws from early 2000s styles with modern updates like ABZORB SBS cushioning.
Can the 'N' logo be removed?
The 'N' logo is a stitched design element integral to the shoe's appearance and is not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Initial tightness or discomfort
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit.
Suede appearing dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove light dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Mesh becoming discolored
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure thorough rinsing if soap is used and air dry.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The ABZORB cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maintain material integrity.

Care:
- Cleaning: For the mesh and nubuck upper, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
