FAQs
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a specialized cushioning technology developed by New Balance that provides superior shock absorption and a responsive feel underfoot. It helps to reduce the impact on your feet during movement.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the ABZORB sole offers cushioning, the New Balance 2010 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-performance running. For dedicated running, consider New Balance's performance running shoe lines.
How do I clean the purple accents?
For the purple accents, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid excessive scrubbing to prevent color transfer or damage. Always test cleaning methods on a small, hidden area first.
What does 'unisex' mean for sizing?
Unisex sizing means the shoe is designed for both men and women. Typically, women should consult a size conversion chart, often sizing down by 1.5 to 2 UK sizes from their usual women's fit to find the equivalent men's/unisex size.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to use a waterproof spray and avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the leather and ensure comfort.
What is the main difference from other 2010 models?
The key difference lies in the updated, progressive design and the expanded proportions of the segmented ABZORB sole, which makes it a more prominent visual and functional element compared to earlier iterations.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the New Balance size chart and measure your foot carefully. As these are unisex, women may need to size down slightly from their usual women's size. Consult customer reviews for insights on fit.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Gently buff the affected area with a soft cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for the shoe's finish. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels stiff initially
The ABZORB sole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape and become more flexible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As footwear, the New Balance 2010 trainers require no setup. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for your foot.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult wear and are compatible with most casual attire. They are suitable for walking and everyday activities.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the grey and purple colourways.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
