FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 2002R series is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While supportive for walking, they are not optimized for intense athletic running.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid harsh detergents and always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Does the 2002R fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing, though the leather upper may offer a more structured fit compared to fabric trainers.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, while leather is naturally somewhat water-resistant, these shoes are not waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain.
Can I use inserts or orthotics?
The standard insole is removable, allowing you to easily swap it out for your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing in the leather.
Stubborn surface scuffs
Gently use a soft-bristled brush or a specialized leather cleaning eraser to buff out surface marks without damaging the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your New Balance 2002R trainers in top condition, proper maintenance of the leather is essential. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the materials. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather cleaner for deeper stains. For longevity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. When sizing, ensure a snug but comfortable fit; the 2002R series typically fits true to size, but consider the structure of the leather when selecting your UK size.
