FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance 2002R are standard trainers and are not specifically rated as waterproof, though the materials offer moderate resistance to light moisture.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult men.
How do I maintain the black and grey colorway?
Use a water-repellent spray designed for suede or fabric to help resist staining, and clean regularly to prevent dirt build-up.
Are these suitable for light jogging?
While they are comfortable and supportive, they are categorized as casual lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing starting from the lowest eyelets to increase volume and alleviate pressure.
Visible surface stains on the fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a gentle brush, working in small circular motions.
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the shoes are laced through the top eyelet to create a runner's loop for a more secure heel lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: When you first try the shoes, ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box for optimal comfort.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces from the bottom eyelets upward to prevent pressure points across the top of your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material warping.
