FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R trainers good for running?
The 2002R reintroduces a design based on a technical running shoe from 2010, but with modern performance upgrades. They offer excellent cushioning and support for everyday wear and light activity, but are not optimized for high-impact, competitive running.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive moisture and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB technology provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, which helps to reduce impact on your feet and joints, enhancing overall comfort during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The 2002R may run slightly narrow for some individuals. It is recommended to try them on if possible or check customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
What is the Stability Web feature?
The Stability Web is integrated into the outsole to provide enhanced underfoot support and motion control, helping to maintain a stable and comfortable stride.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, suede is not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to preserve the material.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in a range of adult UK sizes, including unisex options. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher designed for suede.
Suede is stained or dirty
Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacement if comfort significantly diminishes.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with different textured laces that offer more grip.
