Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 2002 Trainers are designed for active children who need reliable support and comfort for everyday wear. Featuring a classic lace-up design and a durable leather construction, these trainers offer an excellent balance of style and function for school or play. While the leather build is highly resilient, parents should note that the lace-up system may require assistance for younger children who have not yet mastered tying their shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because these are made of leather, machine washing can damage the material and structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but the standard 2002 fit is generally suited for average foot widths.
What age group are these intended for?
These trainers are specifically designed for the children's market, fitting sizes generally associated with primary school age.
Can I use an orthotic insole with these?
The stock insoles are designed for comfort, but the internal space may accommodate custom orthotics if the factory liner is removed.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK child sizing provided and ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between the toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Consider double-knotting the laces or replacing them with elastic no-tie laces for easier management.
Leather looks dull after time
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a leather-safe cream to restore shine and prevent cracking.
Stiffness when first worn
Leather shoes often require a short 'break-in' period; have your child wear them for short durations indoors to soften the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, check the size chart carefully as these are specialized UK-sized children's trainers. To put them on, loosen the laces significantly to allow the foot to slide in comfortably, then tighten them to provide a snug fit across the bridge of the foot. For care, avoid submerging the leather in water. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause leather to crack or stiffen.
