FAQs

Are the New Balance 2002R trainers suitable for running?

The 2002R is designed more for lifestyle and comfort, featuring cushioning suitable for walking and daily wear. While they can handle light jogging, they are not optimized for performance running and may lack the specific support and responsiveness required for intense training.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches to help you find the equivalent UK size. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the trainers have a durable construction, they are not waterproof. The suede material can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions and to treat them with a waterproofing spray if needed.

What is the main difference between the 2002R and other New Balance models?

The 2002R stands out with its blend of retro running shoe aesthetics and advanced cushioning technologies like N-ergy and ABZORB, offering a balance of style and comfort ideal for lifestyle wear.

How often should I clean my 2002R trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, based on wear and appearance. For regular wear, a light brushing of the suede and wiping down the soles weekly can help maintain their look. Deep cleaning should be done when visible dirt or stains appear.

Is the Grey colourway unisex?

Yes, the Grey colourway of the New Balance 2002R is presented as a unisex option, suitable for adults of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to newness or moisture. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insoles are properly seated. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discomfort on the sides of the feet

Ensure you have the correct size. The suede and mesh can break in over time, but if discomfort persists, consider using thinner socks or consulting a shoe fitting specialist.

Suede material looks dull or stained

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions and allow to dry completely before brushing.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like most footwear, performance can be diminished on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Unisex design suitable for adults. Available in various UK sizes. The Grey colourway is highly compatible with casual and athleisure wardrobes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth, then allow to air dry away from direct heat.
  2. Mesh Areas: Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking.
  3. Laces: Remove and hand-wash separately.
  4. Soles: Wipe with a damp cloth.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain shape and protect materials.
