FAQs

Are these trainers good for running?

The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning and support for walking, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities.

How do I clean the 'Concrete Grey' leather?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a cloth and gently wipe the affected area. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous spot first.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the official New Balance website or the retailer's documentation for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather construction offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it's advisable to wear waterproof footwear. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, New Balance trainers are known to run true to size. However, personal fit can vary. It is recommended to check the New Balance sizing chart and consider your foot width when selecting a size.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole typically features a combination of rubber for traction and cushioning materials like EVA or ENCAP for comfort and support, characteristic of the 2002R series.

How often should I reapply leather protector spray?

It is generally recommended to reapply leather protector spray every few months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to significant moisture or wear.

Troubleshooting

Initial tightness or discomfort

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Scuffs or minor marks on leather

Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner with a soft cloth to gently buff out minor marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit might be necessary.

Soles feel stiff

This is normal for new shoes. Continued wear will help the sole become more flexible as it breaks in.

Discoloration on the inside

This can sometimes occur with dark socks. Ensure socks are colorfast, or consider wearing lighter colored socks.

Pros and Cons

  • Good support for the feet.
  • Timeless aesthetic that remains relevant.

Cons

  • Leather may require a break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal comfort. For the best fit, consider trying them on before purchasing or referring to New Balance's sizing guide.

Compatibility: The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed for adult males and are suitable for general casual wear. They pair well with most casual outfits.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and condition.
