FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, featuring excellent cushioning for comfort. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that absorbs impact and helps provide a responsive feel, reducing stress on your feet and joints.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, especially suede.
What does the 'Cork Brown' color refer to?
Cork Brown is an accent color used on specific parts of the shoe, such as the heel, collar, and tongue, providing a subtle contrast to the main Concrete Gray color scheme.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your foot should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Information regarding warranty typically depends on the retailer. Please check the warranty details provided by the seller at the time of purchase.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or using thicker socks. Break in the shoes gradually.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Mesh material snagged or torn
Avoid contact with sharp objects. Small snags may not affect functionality but can be unsightly. Professional repair might be an option for significant tears.
Laces come undone frequently
Try double-knotting the laces or replacing them with different types of laces that offer better grip.
