FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
The 2002R is primarily a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable, it is not optimized for high-intensity running or technical athletic activities.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The 2002R generally fits true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to a New Balance size guide to confirm your UK 7.5 fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the adhesives and structural components of the shoe; manual cleaning is preferred.
Does the colour fade easily?
The materials used are color-fast for normal wear, but excessive exposure to direct, harsh sunlight for long periods may cause slight fading over time.
What is the primary material?
The series typically utilizes a mix of high-quality suede and breathable mesh, which provides both structure and airflow.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for orthotics or custom inserts if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping or heel lifting
Re-tie the laces using a 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' technique to secure the ankle.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the fabric panels after every few wears.
Laces coming undone
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly and consider a double knot if walking long distances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last as long as possible, it is recommended to keep them dry. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For maintenance, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. Because these shoes feature specific material combinations, use a mild, ph-neutral shoe cleaner if stains occur. To maintain the shape, consider using shoe trees when not in use. Ensure you select the correct size (e.g., 7.5 UK) to prevent unnecessary wear on the heel counter caused by slippage.
