FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse?

The 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse is designed as a lifestyle and casual athletic shoe, blending advanced cushioning technology with a rugged, stylish aesthetic inspired by trail running shoes.

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

While they offer excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities rather than competitive long-distance running. For serious running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the nubuck and ripstop materials?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and spot clean. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the sizing like for the 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse?

The sizing is generally consistent with other New Balance adult foot sizes. It's recommended to check the New Balance size chart and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can be subjective.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The shoes offer some protection due to their materials, but they are not fully waterproof. Using a water-repellent spray can enhance their resistance to light moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What does 'Protection Pack' signify?

The 'Protection Pack' designation typically refers to a series of models featuring a deconstructed, layered upper design with exaggerated overlays, giving them a more robust and visually protective appearance.

What is the cushioning technology used in this shoe?

This model features ABZORB cushioning combined with N-ergy technology in the midsole and SBS cushioning in the heel for enhanced shock absorption and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Laces won't stay secured

Ensure the cord lock is fully engaged. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacement.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thicker or thinner socks if needed.

Materials appear dirty or stained

Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions on cleaning nubuck and ripstop. Spot clean stains gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
