FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by performance designs, the 2002R is primarily a lifestyle trainer. It is best suited for walking and daily wear rather than long-distance running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away stains. Avoid machine washing.
Does the 2002R run true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to size, but the leather construction provides a structured, supportive fit that may feel different than fabric-based runners.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, offering durability and a refined aesthetic.
Are they waterproof?
The leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Sneaker feels too tight
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-tie to achieve a more customized fit across the bridge of the foot.
Minor scuffs on leather
Gently buff the area with a dry cloth or a specialized leather eraser to restore the surface texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers arrive ready to wear, no mechanical setup is required. To ensure a proper fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity, as the leather upper provides a structured fit that may feel slightly snug initially.
For care, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Since the upper is leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals. Use specialized leather cleaners if necessary, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage or deformation.
