FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R Cordura trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for daily use, comfort, and light activity. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running.
How do I clean the Cordura mesh parts?
You can clean the Cordura mesh with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB technology is designed to absorb impact by combining cushioning and compression resistance, providing a comfortable and supportive feel with every step.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the Cordura mesh offers some durability, the suede upper is sensitive to moisture. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.
What size is a UK 9.5 equivalent in other sizing systems?
A UK 9.5 generally corresponds to a US 10.5 for men, and approximately a 44 EU size. Please refer to New Balance's official sizing chart for precise conversions.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
Yes, the Stability Web outsole technology integrated into the sole provides additional arch support, enhancing comfort and stability.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning it, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Reduced cushioning over time
While ABZORB technology is designed for longevity, excessive heavy use can eventually lessen its effectiveness. Ensure proper care and avoid using them for activities beyond their intended design.
Discoloration of suede
Protect suede from excessive moisture and direct sunlight. Use a suede protector spray before wearing and clean with appropriate suede cleaners if discoloration occurs.
