FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While rooted in athletic design, the 2002R is primarily a lifestyle trainer. It is better suited for daily walking and casual wear than high-intensity running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Never submerge the trainers in water or put them in a washing machine.
Does the leather material stretch over time?
Leather will naturally soften and mold to the shape of your foot with regular wear, providing a more personalized fit.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider trying them on with your preferred thickness of socks to ensure comfort.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
The leather upper provides some resistance, but it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to improve protection against moisture.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface appearing dull
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.
Water spots on exterior
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally; avoid direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002R trainers, avoid machine washing the leather upper. Use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, utilize a leather-specific cleaner and a damp cloth, allowing the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. Given the leather build, these trainers provide a secure fit; ensure you measure your foot accurately to match the UK sizing guide for optimal comfort.
