FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the New Balance 2002R offers good cushioning and support, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like competitive running.

What is the 'Protection Pack' feature?

The 'Protection Pack' designation refers to the layered, deconstructed aesthetic and the use of durable materials like ripstop, which enhance the shoe's resilience and provide a unique visual appeal.

How should I clean the ripstop material?

The ripstop upper can be cleaned using a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe away residue with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?

The New Balance 2002R series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

These trainers are crafted from premium leather, complemented by a durable ripstop upper for enhanced protection and style.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to New Balance's official size guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or order your usual shoe size, keeping in mind the break-in period.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight upon first wear

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Scuffs or marks on the leather

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your shoe's material. Test the cleaner on a small, hidden area first. For minor scuffs, a soft eraser or a slightly damp cloth may suffice.

Dirt accumulation on the ripstop material

Gently clean the ripstop fabric with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Laces becoming worn or frayed

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any standard shoe laces of the appropriate size will work.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning Ripstop: The ripstop upper can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
