FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R is built for comfort and support, it is classified as a lifestyle trainer rather than a high-performance long-distance running shoe.
Do I need to size up for these?
The New Balance 2002R generally fits true to size. However, if you prefer extra room or wear thick socks, consider your typical New Balance sizing.
How do I best clean the black upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry debris and a damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the material colour.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if preferred.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific variant (ML2002RO) is categorized for adult males, though the 2002R series does include various unisex designs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The 2002R often requires a brief break-in phase. Wear them for a few hours at a time to allow the materials to relax.
Surface marks on the black material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to gently buff out marks.
Insole slippage
Ensure the insole is seated correctly in the heel cup. If persistent, verify you are using the correct size inserts for the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers maintain their condition, follow these care guidelines.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods during the first week to allow the foam and internal structure to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For the black upper, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for minor scuffs. Avoid submersion in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK size 10, designed to fit true to size. They are compatible with most standard orthotic inserts if additional arch support is required.
