FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The ABZORB 2010 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and support for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a soft brush or suede eraser for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. It's important to avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?

ABZORB SBS is a specialized cushioning technology from New Balance that uses pods to provide superior shock absorption and a comfortable feel in both the heel and forefoot.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the mesh and suede offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials, especially the suede. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.

What does the 'Raincloud' mesh refer to?

'Raincloud' is the color name for the mesh material used in the upper of the trainers. It's a shade of grey that complements the 'Harbor Grey' suede overlays.

Do the reflective accents wear off easily?

The reflective accents are designed for durability but can be affected by excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning methods. Gentle care will help maintain their visibility.

What is the main difference between the suede and leather versions?

The primary difference lies in the upper material. Suede offers a softer, textured feel, while leather typically provides a smoother finish and may offer slightly different durability characteristics. Both versions feature the same ABZORB cushioning technology.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh feels damp after cleaning

Ensure the trainers are air-dried completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight to prevent material damage.

Reduced cushioning effect

While the ABZORB cushioning is durable, its effectiveness may slightly diminish over extended use. Ensure no debris is trapped within the sole segments.

Reflective accents peeling

Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning methods on reflective areas. If peeling occurs, gentle adhesive application might be possible, but professional repair is recommended.
