FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?

ABZORB technology in the midsole and heel is designed to provide a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, reducing impact forces and enhancing comfort during wear.

How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and mild soap for mesh areas. Always air dry and avoid machine washing.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The 2002R trainers are inspired by running shoe designs and offer good cushioning and support for everyday comfort and light activities. For intense or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

What does the Stability Web technology do?

Stability Web technology is integrated into the outsole to provide torsional rigidity and arch support, helping to maintain the shoe's structure and provide a more stable ride.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Can I wear these with orthotics?

Yes, the removable insole allows for the insertion of custom orthotics or other insoles if needed, provided they fit comfortably within the shoe's volume.

What is the difference between the N-ergy and ABZORB systems?

ABZORB focuses on cushioning and shock absorption within the midsole and heel, while N-ergy is a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) system in the outsole designed for superior shock absorption and responsiveness.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

While the cushioning is durable, prolonged heavy use may lessen its effectiveness. Ensure proper care and consider rotating with other footwear for daily wear.

Poor grip on wet surfaces

The N-ergy outsole provides good grip, but like most trainers, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
