FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R trainers suitable for sports?
While they offer great support and comfort, the 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday walking and casual use rather than specialized high-intensity athletic training.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
We recommend measuring your feet while wearing the type of socks you intend to use with the trainers to ensure the most accurate fit.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as this can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive components of the footwear.
What makes the 2002R series special?
The 2002R series is highly regarded for its heritage-inspired design combined with contemporary cushioning technology, providing a premium experience that is both stylish and supportive.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
Yes, the internal construction of the 2002R is designed to provide substantial underfoot support, making them comfortable for most individuals for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the bridge of the foot.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be slightly looser in the midfoot area or check if the socks being worn are too thick.
Exterior fabric has picked up dust or surface marks.
Use a soft brush or a slightly dampened microfiber cloth to gently buff away the debris in a circular motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers maintain their performance and aesthetic, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: When you first try them on, use the lacing closure to adjust the midfoot tension. If you plan to wear thick socks, ensure there is still ample space in the toe box.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the foam cushioning to recover its shape after long days of use.
