FAQs

What is the 'Protection Pack' aesthetic?

The 'Protection Pack' refers to a design element where the shoe's materials are layered with a slightly deconstructed, raw-edged appearance, giving it a unique, utilitarian, and edgy look.

Are these suitable for running or sports?

While the 2002R model has roots in running performance, the 'Protection Pack' variants are primarily designed as stylish, comfortable casual footwear. For serious athletic training, dedicated performance shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the different materials on the shoe?

For leather, use a damp cloth and appropriate leather cleaner. For suede or nubuck accents, use a specialized suede brush or cleaner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'Eclipse' refer to in the product name?

'Eclipse' typically refers to the colorway, indicating a dark, often black or deep grey, shade for the shoe.

How can I be sure these are authentic?

The product is guaranteed 100% authentic and sourced directly from authorized suppliers, ensuring genuine New Balance quality and design.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat the leather with a protectant spray for increased water resistance.

What are the benefits of the N-ergy cushioning?

N-ergy cushioning provides advanced shock absorption and stability, helping to reduce impact on your joints and enhance overall comfort during wear.

Troubleshooting

Sizing is incorrect

Refer to the product description for sizing instructions (measure foot length). If the size is still not right, check available sibling variants for alternative sizes. Ensure you are comparing your foot measurement to the correct UK sizing.

Leather appears stiff or dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently. Repeat if necessary, but avoid over-conditioning.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with premium leather.
  • Comfortable cushioning suitable for extended wear.
  • Unique and eye-catching design.
  • Versatile black color that complements many styles.
  • Authentic product sourced directly from authorized suppliers.

Cons

  • The deconstructed design may be too bold for some.
  • Leather requires specific care to maintain its condition.
  • May be perceived as a fashion item rather than a purely athletic shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. The primary 'setup' involves selecting the correct size.

Sizing: To ensure the right fit, measure your foot length from the heel's most prominent part to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement with the New Balance sizing chart.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males seeking a stylish and comfortable casual shoe. These are trainers, best suited for casual wear and light activities, not intense athletic training.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede or nubuck elements if present.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to prevent dust and maintain shape.
