FAQs
What type of cushioning do these trainers offer?
The New Balance 2002R trainers feature ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for shock absorption and an ACTEVA LITE midsole for lightweight, responsive cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the specific features required for intense athletic training.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and following the product's instructions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does 'Stability Web technology' mean for the outsole?
Stability Web technology in the N-ergy outsole helps to provide enhanced arch support and torsional stability, contributing to a more controlled and comfortable stride.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the N-ergy outsole offers good grip, the suede and mesh upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.
What is the main benefit of the mesh in the upper?
The mesh material in the upper provides breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight, especially over the forefoot. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the materials need a short break-in period.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a clean, dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dust. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly according to its instructions.
Poor traction on surfaces
Ensure the N-ergy outsole is clean. Remove any mud, stones, or debris lodged in the tread pattern. The Stability Web technology relies on clean contact with the ground.
