FAQs
What is ABZORB cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam and rubber material that provides superior cushioning and compression resistance, effectively absorbing impact during active movements and daily wear.
Are these trainers suitable for all types of sports?
The New Balance 2002 trainers are designed for general athletic activities, including running, jumping, and various play activities like school PE or park playdates, offering excellent support and impact absorption for active children.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
For suede, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt. For mesh, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Avoid machine washing and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 2002 Kids' Trainers are designed to be unisex and are suitable for all children.
What are the main materials used in these trainers?
The upper is made from a combination of suede and mesh, providing breathability and durability. The sole is made from chunky rubber for traction and stability, and the midsole features ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning technologies.
Do these shoes run true to size?
New Balance shoes typically run true to size, but we recommend consulting the New Balance sizing chart for the most accurate fit. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance in children's athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a comfortable, snug fit. Ensure the foot is properly seated in the shoe before tying. If the issue persists, verify that the shoe size is correct for your child's foot.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Check the fit of the shoe, ensuring it's not too tight or too loose. Also, ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. Break-in time might be needed for new shoes. If discomfort continues, check for any foreign objects inside the shoe.
Soles seem slippery after use.
Clean the chunky rubber sole to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing grip. A stiff brush and water can be effective. Inspect the sole for excessive wear, which could indicate it's time for new shoes.
Suede or mesh upper gets dirty quickly.
Due to active use, regular cleaning is expected. Follow the care instructions for spot cleaning the suede and mesh areas. For best results, clean dirt as soon as possible to prevent it from setting in.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Impact Absorption: ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning protect growing feet during high-impact activities.
- Stable and Secure Fit: Lace-up design and chunky rubber sole ensure feet are well-supported.
- Breathable and Comfortable: Suede and mesh upper promotes airflow, keeping feet comfortable.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces before putting the shoe on. Insert your child's foot fully into the shoe, ensuring the heel is comfortably seated against the back.
- Adjust Fit: Pull the laces snugly but not too tightly from the bottom upwards. Tie a secure knot or bow. A good fit allows for a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed for kids.
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
- Activities: Ideal for school PE, playground activities, running, jumping, and general active daily wear. Compatible with various athletic and casual outfits.
- Sizing: Available in UK children's size 3. Ensure you choose the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 2002 trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove debris from the suede sections. A damp cloth with mild soap can be used for the mesh areas and rubber sole.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains on suede, consider a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can cause damage to the materials, cushioning, and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
