Full details

FAQs
Are these trainers good for running?
The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed with running shoe aesthetics and comfort features, but they are best suited for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-performance athletic running.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is the most accurate method. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is also ideal.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The materials, especially the suede, can be damaged by the washing process. Hand-clean them according to the care instructions.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and mesh.
How does the cushioning technology work?
They feature ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for stability and shock absorption, along with an N-ergy outsole for superior shock absorption and a durable rubber tread.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 2002R trainers are designed as a unisex model, offering style and comfort for all genders.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or a new sole. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it stops. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider using alternative insoles for personalized cushioning. Break in the shoes gradually over a few wears.
Suede material looks worn or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, employ a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no setup as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard sock wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Suede: For suede parts, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser can be used. Avoid water saturation.
- Mesh and Leather Parts: Wipe these areas with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure no debris is trapped in the tread.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
