FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 2002R is primarily a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not designed for technical distance running.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 2002R generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have wide feet, consider wearing slightly thinner socks.
How do I clean the grey suede/leather panels?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry cleaning. Avoid heavy liquid cleaners as they can stain the material.

What is the best way to keep them looking new?

Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their original shape and minimize deep creases.
Laces coming untied frequently
Switch to a double-knot technique or replace with high-friction cotton laces if the original ones feel too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the size 8.5 fits snugly without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid total immersion in water.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Care: If they get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Never use a heat source like a radiator, as this can warp the materials.
