FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers more protection than mesh, these trainers are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance 2002R follows standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual footwear size for the best fit.
Can I use these for heavy running?
While durable and athletic-inspired, the 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and daily wear trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
How should I store them to prevent wear?
Keep them in a cool, ventilated area out of direct sunlight and use shoe trees to keep the structure intact.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, the 2002R series comes in various sizes; please check the product catalog for your specific UK size availability.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a colour-matched leather polish to buff out minor marks.
Inner lining feeling tight
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry and verify the size corresponds to your standard UK foot measurements.
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct UK size, as the 2002R is designed for a consistent fit. Because the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing these trainers. Instead, remove surface dirt using a soft, dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently wipe the material. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature with the laces loosened.
