FAQs

What is the main purpose of the New Balance 2002R 'Black Cat' trainers?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear, offering a combination of style and comfort for everyday activities.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

While they offer good cushioning, the 2002R model is best suited for walking and casual use rather than high-impact sports or dedicated running.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing guide available on their official website or on the product page, which usually includes foot length measurements for each UK size.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and shape.

What materials are typically used in the New Balance 2002R?

The 2002R often features a mix of suede, mesh, and synthetic materials for durability and breathability, though specific material composition may vary.

What does the 'Black Cat' designation signify?

The 'Black Cat' designation typically refers to a colorway of the shoe, indicating an all-black or predominantly black design.

What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific return policy of the store where you purchased the trainers for details on exchanges or returns for incorrect sizing.

Troubleshooting

Initial tightness or discomfort

New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to the sizing chart if unsure.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes happen due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or baby powder under the insole, or check if the laces are rubbing against the tongue.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure they are not tied too tightly during wear, which can put unnecessary stress on them.
