Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a ready-to-wear footwear item, the New Balance 2002R requires no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. It is compatible with standard sock choices.
Care: The 'Protection Pack' features raw-edged suede, which contributes to its unique look. To maintain this appearance and the shoe's condition:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a suede eraser to gently remove surface dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Avoid Water: Prolonged exposure to water can damage suede. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protectant spray to help repel water and stains, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Mesh Areas: Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
