FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R has roots in performance footwear, it is primarily positioned as a lifestyle and casual trainer. It is best suited for walking and daily activity.
How do I determine the right size?
The 2002R is available in various UK sizes. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size given the supportive nature of the upper construction.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and the internal cushioning components.
What materials are used in the 2002R?
The 2002R series utilizes a blend of high-quality synthetic and textile materials designed for durability and breathability.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for specialized support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The 2002R often has a structured fit; try wearing thinner socks during the initial break-in period to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Visible dirt on grey accent panels
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, then spot clean with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002R trainers, start by confirming your UK sizing, as the 2002R series often fits true-to-size but may feel structured. For care, keep the upper material dry and wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat and excessive water can compromise the structural integrity and adhesive bonds of the shoe. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
