New Balance 2002R - Black - Size 12.5

The 2002R features a combination of suede and mesh in its upper construction.

It utilizes ACTEVA LITE midsole cushioning for lightweight support and ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for enhanced shock absorption.

While comfortable for everyday wear and walking, the 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer and may not offer the specific support or features required for dedicated running activities.

Use a specialized suede cleaner and a soft brush or suede eraser for stains and scuffs. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and follow product instructions.

Stability Web technology in the N-ergy outsole is designed to provide enhanced grip, traction, and stability across different surfaces.

The suede material is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, and to treat the suede with a protective spray if necessary.

The N-ergy outsole, along with the Stability Web technology, offers outstanding grip and traction, ensuring a stable and secure stride.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the squeaking persists, try removing the insole, cleaning it, and ensuring it's fully dry before reinserting.

New shoes, especially those with suede uppers, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight.

Address scuffs and stains immediately. Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid exposing suede to excessive moisture.
