FAQs
What makes the ABZORB 2010 different from other New Balance trainers?
The ABZORB 2010 stands out with its distinct segmented ABZORB sole unit, combining elements from the 99x and 9060 series. It features more expansive proportions in the sole and integrates ABZORB SBS cushioning pods with a prominent TPU midfoot shank.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the ABZORB 2010 is primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light training. For rigorous running, dedicated running shoes from New Balance are recommended.
How do I clean the 'Phantom' mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
What does 'ABZORB SBS' cushioning mean?
ABZORB SBS is a specialized cushioning technology by New Balance that provides superior shock absorption and comfort, utilizing a blend of specialized polymers in the heel and forefoot.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics or custom insoles?
Yes, the trainers can accommodate most standard orthotics or insoles. You may need to remove the original insole, if present, to make space.
What is the primary benefit of the translucent TPU midfoot shank?
The TPU shank provides essential midfoot support and torsional stability, helping to maintain the shoe's structure and improve the wearer's gait.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the New Balance ABZORB 2010 Trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of all genders.
Troubleshooting
Tingling or discomfort in the midfoot.
This could be due to the TPU shank. Try wearing thicker socks or inserting a thin insole to adjust the feel.
Nubuck material appears dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and a suede brush to restore the texture and appearance. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Mesh appears to be stretching excessively.
Ensure you are not overtightening laces. If stretching is a defect, contact customer support.
Reflective accents are losing their reflectivity.
Reflective materials can degrade over time with excessive washing or abrasion. Ensure proper cleaning methods are followed.
