Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last, follow these maintenance tips. First, ensure you have selected your correct UK adult size, as the 2002R series offers a specific fit profile. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. To maintain the shape of the footwear when not in use, consider using shoe trees.
