FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R is a comfortable lifestyle trainer with supportive features, it is designed primarily for casual, everyday wear rather than high-performance athletic running.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The New Balance 2002R follows standard UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual size, noting that the leather construction provides a supportive, snug fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather trainers as it will damage the material and structural integrity of the shoe.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the standard laces with any equivalent length sneaker laces if you prefer a different colour or style.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Because of the leather upper, it may take a few wears for the material to conform comfortably to the shape of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Gently buff the area with a dry soft cloth or a specialised leather eraser.
Tight fit around the instep
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before wear or consider using thinner socks to allow the leather to break in naturally.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality build typical of the 2002R series
Cons
- Leather requires specific care to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 2002R features leather components, proper care is essential to extend the lifespan of your shoes. To maintain the leather:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and debris after use.
- Treat the leather periodically with a suitable conditioner to prevent cracking.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the grey pigment.
- Avoid submerging the leather in water; instead, use a damp cloth for targeted spot cleaning.
Ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchasing as the 2002R series is designed with a specific anatomical fit.
