FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 2002R trainers are inspired by running shoes and offer excellent cushioning for everyday wear and light activity. However, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for competitive long-distance running.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which typically correlates UK sizes with foot measurements. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately. The trainers are unisex, so consult the chart for the appropriate fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the suede, mesh, and cushioning components. Spot clean with a suede brush and appropriate cleaners instead.

What is the main benefit of the N-ergy outsole?

The N-ergy outsole is designed to provide superior shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during movement.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or moisture. Regular brushing can help maintain the suede's appearance between deeper cleanings.

What does 'ABZORB SBS' cushioning refer to?

ABZORB SBS refers to a specific cushioning technology in the heel that enhances stability and shock absorption.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears faded or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly with a cloth, following product instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

The ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning is designed for durability. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, consider the shoe's lifespan. Regular wear can eventually impact cushioning effectiveness. Ensure you are using the correct size for optimal support.

Tread appears worn

The rubber tread is designed for durability, but heavy use will eventually show wear. If traction is compromised, it may be time to consider replacing the trainers.
