FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 2002 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes for high-impact training.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

Refer to the specific UK adult foot size listed for the variant you are interested in and compare it to the official New Balance sizing chart. Measuring your foot length is the most accurate method.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a soft brush and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the best method for cleaning.

What is the main difference between the 2002 and 2002R series?

While both belong to the 2002 lineage and share core design elements, the 'R' designation often implies updated features, materials, or minor aesthetic refinements from the original 2002 model.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer protection against light splashes but are not suitable for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

You can wear a variety of socks, from thin athletic socks to thicker casual socks, depending on your comfort and the weather. Crew or ankle socks are common choices.

What is the colour secondary for this model?

The colour secondary for this specific model is Silver, complementing the primary Black colour.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Consult the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot carefully. Compare your measurements to the UK adult foot size indicated for this model. Consider trying them on in-store if possible.

Shoes feel stiff initially

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.

Visible wear on the sole after moderate use

Ensure you are using the trainers for their intended purpose (casual wear, light activity). Check for any sharp objects on the ground during wear. Minor wear is normal for any footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of personal styles and clothing. They are suitable for adults.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 2002 Trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and surface stains. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for thorough cleaning of both the laces and the shoe interior.
