FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R is built for comfort and stability, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a technical performance running shoe.
How should I clean the mesh parts?
Use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth to gently dab the mesh; avoid soaking the suede overlays.
What does the ABZORB technology do?
ABZORB is a proprietary cushioning material that absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance.
Do these sneakers fit true to size?
The 2002R generally fits true to size, providing a secure but comfortable fit around the midfoot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the shoe's structure. Always hand-clean them.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles in the 2002R can be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede panels
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and dislodge dust.
Creasing near the toe area
This is normal with leather/suede footwear; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain shape.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a clean brush to restore the nap texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 2002R sneakers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and debris after use.
- Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of suede cleaner.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey and brown tones from fading.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a heater or hairdryer, as excessive heat can damage the suede.
