FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature athletic construction, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance-specific running shoes.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a soft brush for daily maintenance and a suede eraser for localized stains. Avoid using excessive water.
Do these fit true to size?
The New Balance 2002 generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to ensure your UK foot size matches the provided specifications.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the adhesive used in the sole construction.
What is the benefit of the EVA sole?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a lightweight foam that provides superior cushioning and impact absorption compared to standard rubber.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surface
Use a dry suede-specific brush to gently lift dirt particles.
Laces feel loose or come undone
Ensure a proper heel lock lacing technique and double-knot the laces.
Sole grip feels slippery on wet surfaces
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove buildup of debris or dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002 trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser.
- Moisture Control: Avoid getting the shoes soaked. If they become wet, stuff them with paper and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the pink color from fading over time.
