Full details

The New Balance ABZORB 2010 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in the innovative ABZORB SBS cushioning, offering superior shock absorption. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific sizing, as fit can vary. These trainers merge iconic design elements from New Balance's 99x and 9060 series with contemporary updates, featuring a 'Phantom' mesh upper, 'Faded Black' nubuck overlays, and a distinct segmented sole unit with ABZORB cushioning in the heel and forefoot, all connected by a translucent TPU midfoot shank.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance ABZORB 2010 trainers are designed for casual wear and light training. They offer good cushioning for everyday comfort but are not optimized for high-impact running activities.

What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?

ABZORB SBS is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides excellent shock absorption and a comfortable, responsive feel underfoot.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping. Comparing your foot measurements to New Balance's official size chart is recommended.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers have mesh and nubuck materials that are not fully waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are best avoided in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.

What is the main design influence for the 2010 model?

The 2010 model draws inspiration from New Balance's archival 99x and 9060 series, combining familiar design elements with contemporary sensibilities, particularly noted in its segmented sole unit.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the product information indicates these trainers are designed for unisex adult wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Try adjusting the lacing pattern. If the issue persists, consider if you have the correct size. Refer to New Balance's sizing guide for accurate measurements.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try loosening or re-tying the laces. If the sound is persistent, it might be related to moisture; ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While ABZORB cushioning is durable, its responsiveness can decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh conditions can help prolong its effectiveness.
