FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R is inspired by retro running designs, it is intended as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear rather than professional athletic training.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and cause structural issues. Use manual cleaning methods only.
How do I ensure the right fit?
New Balance typically follows standard sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against the manufacturer's size chart before selecting your UK size.
Is the suede durable?
Yes, it is high-quality, but suede is inherently more delicate than leather or synthetic mesh. Regular maintenance is required to maintain its appearance.
Are these sneakers unisex?
Yes, the 2002R models are designed to be unisex, accommodating a wide range of adult foot sizes.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede surface
Gently use a dry suede brush in a single direction to lift the dirt without pressing it into the fibers.
Water spots or light stains
Use a specialized suede eraser to rub the affected area gently; do not saturate the material with cleaning fluids.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Remove the laces and soak them in a bowl of mild soapy water, then air dry completely before re-lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, consider these maintenance practices:
- Protective Spray: Before wearing, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using water directly on the fabric as it can cause discoloration or spotting.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the delicate pink hues over time.
- Compatibility: These unisex trainers are highly versatile and compatible with most casual and streetwear-inspired wardrobes. Due to the wide size range, they fit most adult foot shapes, but it is recommended to verify sizing against standard New Balance fit guides.
