Generally, the New Balance 2002R fits true to size. However, fit can vary slightly depending on individual foot shape. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult user reviews for specific sizing advice.
While the 2002R has a running heritage and excellent cushioning, it has been re-engineered for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running performance, New Balance offers other models specifically designed for athletic training.
To protect the suede, it's highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and nubuck materials. This creates a barrier against moisture and helps prevent stains, though it won't make them fully waterproof.
ABZORB is a superior blend of cushioning and compression resistance foams, providing excellent shock absorption. N-ergy is a responsive cushioning system that offers advanced shock absorption and energy return, working together to deliver exceptional comfort and impact protection.
New Balance often provides shoes in various widths. While the standard 2002R is typically a D (medium) width, check the specific product listing or retailer for availability of wider options if you require them.
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For daily wear, a quick brush-down of the suede and wipe of the mesh after each use can maintain freshness. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, typically every few weeks or once a month, to prevent dirt buildup.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore its original texture and appearance.
For light dirt, use a dry suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following the product instructions. For mesh areas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Check the condition of the insoles. If they are worn out, replacing them with new insoles can often restore comfort and support. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Often, a squeak is caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or moisture. Try removing the insoles and dusting a little baby powder or baking soda inside the shoe, then reinserting them. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry if moisture is suspected.
