FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R is built for comfort and cushioning, it is best suited for walking, light exercise, and casual daily use rather than high-mileage distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
New Balance 2002R trainers typically fit true to size. We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the cushioning materials. Always stick to manual cleaning methods.
What is the primary difference between the 2002R and other trainers?
The 2002R stands out by combining classic visual aesthetics with modern, performance-oriented tech like N-ERGY and ABZORB.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper is not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray to help repel light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and allow for a short break-in period during short walks.
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather cleaner to gently buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002R trainers, start by confirming the correct UK size, such as the 6.5 option. When fitting, ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Care Instructions:
- Keep leather clean by using a dry brush to remove loose dirt.
- Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning; avoid submerging in water.
- Allow shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp or damage the leather.
- Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather to protect against moisture.
