FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 2010 Trainers are designed for active lifestyles and comfortable daily wear, including casual running. For marathon training or competitive running, specialized running shoes with advanced features might be more appropriate.

How do I know if the unisex sizing will fit me?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for unisex footwear. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing provided. Consider trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the main benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole provides superior shock absorption, reducing the impact on your feet and joints during movement, which contributes to overall comfort.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or significant wear. Regular light cleaning with a soft brush will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.

What is the difference between the mesh and nubuck materials?

The mesh provides breathability, allowing air to circulate and keep your feet cool. The nubuck leather offers a more durable and premium aesthetic, often used for structural support and style accents.

Are the reflective logo accents effective in the dark?

Yes, the reflective logo accents are designed to catch light and increase your visibility in low-light or dark conditions, enhancing safety.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and wear them for a short period to allow them to adapt to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if insoles might affect the fit.

Discoloration on nubuck leather

Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner or a soft brush to gently remove the discoloration. Avoid excessive moisture.

Reduced cushioning feel

Ensure the laces are properly tied to secure the foot within the cushioning system. The ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability, but if significant wear is suspected, consult New Balance support.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the outsole. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the noise persists, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.
