FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and walking trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove debris, followed by a leather-safe cleaner applied with a damp cloth.
Does the 2002R fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though personal preference for toe room may vary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the integrity of the adhesive bonding.
What is the benefit of the N-ERGY cushioning?
N-ERGY technology provides enhanced shock absorption and energy return with every step.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box area
This is normal for genuine leather; using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain the shoe's shape.
Surface dirt on the grey leather
Use a damp, lint-free cloth and a specialized leather cleaner; avoid harsh chemical solvents.
Squeaking sounds during walking
Ensure the insoles are properly seated or sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed from leather, initial setup involves ensuring you have the correct fit (UK 7.5 in this instance) to allow the leather to flex naturally with your foot. Compatibility is high across casual attire, ranging from denim to technical trousers. To maintain the quality of the leather, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt after each use and apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
