FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R suitable for intense running?
While they feature advanced running technology, they are designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than high-performance distance running.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and weaken the adhesives used in the construction.
How do these fit compared to other brands?
New Balance 2002R generally fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit, consider that the material will soften and mold to your foot slightly over time.
What is the best way to protect the white suede?
Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear can help prevent dirt and moisture from settling.
Does the Stability Web affect comfort?
The Stability Web is designed to be supportive without feeling rigid, providing a structured feel that aids in maintaining neutral alignment.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting a secure fit
Try a runner's loop lacing technique to better lock in the heel and secure the midfoot.
Visible scuffs on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface blemishes.
Creasing at the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your 2002R trainers last, start by checking the fit with your preferred socks; the lace-up system allows you to adjust tension across the midfoot. For care, it is essential to avoid machine washing as this can damage the suede structure. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the material to shrink or fade.
