FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

The ABZORB midsole absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing enhanced comfort and reducing stress on your feet.

Does this shoe offer good arch support?

Yes, the Stability Web outsole technology is incorporated to provide added arch support, contributing to a more stable stride.

How do I adjust the bungee laces?

The bungee lace system features a lock. Simply pull the laces to tighten and press the lock to release or adjust. Spare rope laces are also included.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of durable nubuck leather, ripstop fabric, and mesh for both style and structure.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While it features advanced cushioning, the 2002R Protection Pack is primarily designed as a stylish trainer for casual wear and daily use, rather than for competitive running.

How should I clean the nubuck leather parts?

Use a soft brush or a specialized suede eraser to clean nubuck leather. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the difference between ABZORB and N-ergy technology?

ABZORB focuses on cushioning and compression resistance, while N-ergy provides superior shock absorption. Both contribute to overall comfort and impact protection in the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to adjust

Ensure the bungee lock is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the laces through the lock while holding the lock firmly.

Slight discomfort during first few wears

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Dirt and scuff marks on nubuck leather

Use a suede eraser or a soft brush specifically designed for nubuck to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack comes ready to wear. The adjustable bungee lace system allows for a quick, customized fit. For a more traditional fit, untie the bungee lock and replace with the included spare rope laces.

Compatibility: This trainer is designed for adult male footwear sizing (UK 9.5 in this specific variant). It is suitable for general athletic and casual wear. It is not intended for specialized sports requiring specific technical footwear.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the nubuck leather, ripstop, and mesh, spot clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
