FAQs

Are the New Balance 2002R trainers good for running?

While inspired by running shoes and featuring cushioning technology, the 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. It offers comfort and support for daily wear but is not intended for intense athletic running or training.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and avoid getting the shoes excessively wet.

What does ABZORB SBS mean?

ABZORB SBS refers to a specific cushioning technology by New Balance that provides a blend of cushioning and stability, particularly in the heel, designed to absorb impact effectively.

What is the N-ergy outsole for?

The N-ergy outsole is engineered by New Balance to provide superior shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials.

How should I store my 2002R trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

What is the sizing like for the 2002R?

The sizing is generally consistent with other New Balance footwear. However, personal fit can vary. It is always recommended to check sizing charts or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

Suede material looking dull or stained

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and follow instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray.

Traction seems reduced

Check the rubber tread for embedded debris and clean it. Excessive wear on the tread may indicate it's time for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, the New Balance 2002R Trainers require no technical setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with casual apparel. Available in various UK sizes, ensuring a suitable fit for many individuals.

Care: To maintain the premium suede and mesh upper:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
