Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While ABZORB cushioning is durable, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacement if significant loss of comfort is experienced after prolonged wear.

Slightly tight fit

New balance trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Discoloration of the upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can cause fading or discoloration. Clean according to care instructions.
