FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed primarily for style and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not specialized for high-impact activities like running, which typically require more advanced support and performance features.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the product description for available UK sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with standard shoe size charts. For New Balance, ensuring a snug but not tight fit is key.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather material offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain their condition.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB sole?
The ABZORB sole unit is engineered to provide excellent shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during wear.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Is the black and grey colorway available in other materials?
This specific product variant is described as being crafted from leather. Availability of other materials may vary across different product lines or future releases.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try wearing them for a short period to allow them to air out, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. If discoloration persists, use a dedicated leather cleaner following product instructions. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight.
