FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 2002R Cordura is designed for daily activity and urban exploration, including light running and jumping. Its ABZORB midsole and N-ergy outsole provide excellent cushioning and shock absorption for everyday use, but they are not specifically engineered for high-performance athletic running.
How do I clean the suede material?
To clean the suede, first use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely and consider using a suede protector spray.
Is the Cordura mesh waterproof?
The Cordura mesh is damage-resistant and breathable, offering good protection against wear and tear. While it provides some water resistance, it is not fully waterproof. For enhanced water protection, you might consider applying a water-repellent spray suitable for mixed materials.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
Yes, the New Balance 2002R Cordura features Stability Web technology in its outsole, which is specifically designed to provide added arch support for enhanced comfort and stability.
Can I wear these trainers in all weather conditions?
These trainers are suitable for most dry to lightly damp conditions due to their durable Cordura mesh and suede construction. However, due to the suede material and breathable mesh, they are not recommended for heavy rain or extremely wet environments, as prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the materials.
What is the N-ergy outsole?
The N-ergy outsole is a New Balance technology designed to provide superior shock absorption. It works by ensuring durable traction while absorbing blows with every footfall, adding a modern aesthetic to the rear of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or discolored.
Gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush to restore the nap. For discoloration, use a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, then re-brush.
Trainers feel less comfortable or supportive over time.
Ensure you are using appropriate socks. If comfort issues persist, the insoles might be worn out. Consider replacing them with new, supportive insoles. Also, check if laces are properly secured for optimal fit.
Foot odor develops despite regular wear.
Allow trainers to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole; contact support if it's a manufacturing defect.
Cordura mesh looks dirty or stained.
Wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft brush and gentle scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
