FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ABZORB 2010 trainers offer excellent cushioning for everyday wear and light activity, but they are not specifically designed for high-impact, long-distance running like marathon events. For such activities, a specialized running shoe would be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance, or measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the UK sizing conversions. The product information lists specific UK sizes available.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the suede overlays offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.
What does ABZORB SBS cushioning do?
ABZORB SBS is a durable cushioning system that provides a responsive feel and absorbs shock, helping to reduce impact on the feet and joints during wear.
How do the 99x and 9060 lineages influence this design?
The ABZORB 2010 incorporates design cues such as layered construction and a retro-futuristic aesthetic from the 99x series, combined with the contemporary tooling and silhouette influences from the 9060 line.
Is the 'Tornado' and 'Faded Black' colorway unisex?
While this specific model is listed for men, the colorway itself can be appealing across genders. However, sizing is based on men's standard measurements.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit on arrival
Wear the trainers with medium-weight socks for a few hours each day. The materials will naturally mold to your foot shape over time.
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush according to product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The cushioning is designed for sustained comfort. If it feels less responsive, ensure no debris is trapped in the sole and that the shoes have not been over-saturated with water.
Reflective accents losing reflectivity
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods on the reflective strips. Gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
