FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 2002R Shadow Grey trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort and support for daily activities. They are not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running or professional athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. These trainers are available in UK size 10. Pay attention to the width if you have wider feet, as some users find New Balance models can run narrower.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to prevent damage to the suede and mesh, and to keep your feet dry.
What is the main difference between the suede and leather versions?
The suede and mesh version offers a softer feel and a more casual aesthetic, with suede requiring specific care. Leather versions may offer slightly more durability and water resistance, and can be easier to clean with a damp cloth.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular light brushing of the suede can help maintain its appearance between more thorough cleanings.
What does 'Shadow Grey' refer to?
'Shadow Grey' refers to the specific colorway of the trainers, indicating a shade of grey that is deep and nuanced, often combined with complementary tones like Castlerock and Timberwolf.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or comfort
Ensure laces are tied correctly to distribute pressure evenly. Consider the specific width of the shoe; if it feels too narrow, try loosening the laces significantly or consult a professional for foot measurement.
Suede appearing dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, prolonged heavy use may reduce cushioning. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use (e.g., avoiding extreme sports). Proper care can help maintain performance longer.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: For suede components, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly with a damp cloth, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the material.
- Mesh Areas: Gently clean mesh sections with a soft brush and mild soap diluted in water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape.
