FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
The New Balance 2002 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear, offering excellent comfort and support. While they can handle light recreational activities, they are not intended for high-impact or specialized sports training.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
The trainers are described as true to size with a standard fit. It is recommended to order your usual size. If you are between sizes, half sizes are available in selected options for a more precise fit. Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for detailed measurements.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance to absorb impact, helping to protect the body and provide a comfortable feel.
Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?
No, these trainers should not be machine washed or tumble dried. Cleaning should be done manually using a damp cloth and mild cleaning agents as needed. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the main difference between ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning?
ABZORB focuses on absorbing impact through cushioning and compression resistance, while N-ergy provides responsive cushioning for overall comfort and support, working together to enhance the wearing experience.
How should I care for the leather components?
For the leather parts, use a damp cloth for regular cleaning. For more specific care or to treat stains, use a product formulated for leather, always testing it on a small, hidden area first.
Are these trainers available in adult sizes?
This specific guide and product information pertains to the Junior 2002 Trainer model, designed for kids. While New Balance offers various models in adult sizes, this particular version focuses on children's sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lace-up fastening for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider trying a half size if available or consulting the size guide.
Cushioning feels stiff initially
The ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to mold to the foot.
Sole losing grip
Ensure the rubber sole is clean from mud or debris. If the tread appears significantly worn, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Discoloration on leather parts
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a product specifically designed for leather care, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Advice:
- Uppers: Made from 48% leather, 32% other materials, and 20% textile. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For leather elements, a specific leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Lining: 100% textile. If the lining becomes dirty, spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Ensure thorough drying away from direct heat.
- Sole: 100% rubber. Clean the sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris and maintain traction.
- General Care: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow shoes to air dry naturally. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
