FAQs

What is the primary benefit of ABZORB SBS cushioning?

ABZORB SBS cushioning provides enhanced shock absorption and comfort, particularly in the heel and forefoot, reducing impact during wear.

How does FuelCell technology contribute to the shoe's performance?

FuelCell technology offers responsive support and energy return, helping to propel you forward and making the shoe feel dynamic.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While offering good cushioning, the ABZORB 2010 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with tailored support and cushioning would be more appropriate.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage suede.

What does the '99X' series signify?

The '99X' series often represents New Balance's premium lifestyle footwear, known for its quality materials and classic, often retro-inspired designs.

Are the reflective accents always visible?

Reflective accents are designed to catch and reflect light sources, such as headlights, increasing visibility primarily in low-light or dark conditions when light hits them directly.

What is the purpose of the TPU midfoot shank?

The translucent TPU midfoot shank provides structural support and stability to the arch of the foot, helping to prevent excessive twisting.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

While engineered for durability, cushioning can naturally compress. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat or moisture, which can degrade materials faster. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Consider using a double knot for a more secure tie. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
