Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 2002R trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. Use a mild soap solution for leather panels if necessary.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the green fabric.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most users, but consider wearing athletic-style socks to optimize the fit.
