FAQs

Are the New Balance 2002R trainers good for running?

While inspired by running shoe aesthetics and offering good cushioning, the 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday comfort and style rather than for high-performance running.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always follow the product instructions. It's best to avoid water saturation.

What other colors and sizes are available?

The New Balance 2002R comes in various colorways, including black and grey with secondary accents like pink or black. A wide range of adult sizes is typically available.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in wet conditions and consider using a suede protector spray for water resistance.

Can I wear these trainers in winter?

They can be worn in cooler, dry weather. However, due to the suede material's sensitivity to moisture, they are not ideal for heavy snow or icy conditions.

What is the primary benefit of the 'double bubble' sole?

The 'double bubble' refers to design elements and cushioning technologies aimed at enhancing comfort and shock absorption for everyday wear.

Is this trainer suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary. While generally comfortable, individuals with particularly wide feet may wish to check specific sizing guides or try them on if possible, as standard fits can sometimes be narrow.

Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration or marks

Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Loss of shape

Ensure proper storage when not in use. Use shoe trees to maintain the shape of the toe box.

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using insoles if additional support is needed.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or baking soda inside the shoe, or on the insole, to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish and modern design with a retro influence.
  • Comfortable for extended periods of wear.
  • High-quality suede material adds a premium feel.
  • Versatile colorway complements many outfits.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Suede requires specific cleaning and care to prevent damage.
  • May not be suitable for very strenuous athletic activities.
  • The "double bubble" sole design might not appeal to everyone.
  • Can be perceived as a fashion item rather than pure performance gear.
  • Suede can be susceptible to water damage if not treated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 2002R trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, joggers, shorts, and casual trousers. They are designed for adult use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust regularly. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede unless it's a water-based stain and you are using a specific suede waterproofing spray afterward.
  2. Avoid Wet Conditions: Suede is sensitive to moisture. Try to avoid wearing these trainers in rain or snow.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag or box to maintain their shape and prevent dust.
  4. Laces: Laces can be removed for cleaning or replacement if needed.
