FAQs
What makes the ABZORB sole unit special?
The ABZORB sole unit is a signature New Balance technology designed to provide exceptional cushioning and shock absorption, combining comfort and durability. In the 2010 model, it features more expansive proportions, becoming a visual centerpiece of the design.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 2010 Trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday comfort and style. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for performance running and may lack the specialized support and features required for intense athletic activities.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If it persists, check if the insole is loose or try a small amount of powder under the insole.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure the shoes fit correctly. Avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Traction feels reduced
Check the rubber outsole for debris or wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn down, consider replacement.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the suede or nubuck parts if applicable to specific colorways (though this model is described as leather).
- Laces: Clean or replace laces as needed.
