FAQs
What materials are these trainers made from?
The New Balance 2002R Black Leather Trainers feature an upper constructed from premium leather and textile (mesh) panels, a textile lining, and a durable rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
While exceptionally comfortable and supportive, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle, casual wear, and urban exploration rather than high-performance running or intense athletic training.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, these trainers are designed to fit true to adult UK sizing. It is generally recommended to select your standard shoe size.
What is ABZORB SBS cushioning?
ABZORB SBS is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology. It's a non-cellular foam-based material that provides superior shock absorption and compression resistance, delivering enhanced comfort and stability, particularly in the heel.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not inherently waterproof. The leather and textile upper can repel light moisture, but for protection against heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions, we recommend applying a suitable water and stain repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
These trainers are made with quality materials that may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This will restore its luster and keep it supple.
Stains on the leather or textile upper.
Address stains immediately. For leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. For textile, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then air dry. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Unpleasant odor from trainers.
Remove insoles and air out trainers after each use. Use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda sachets overnight. Ensure trainers are completely dry before storing.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated. Sometimes, a loose insole can cause squeaking. If the squeak is from the sole, ensure it's clean and dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.

Product Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 2002R Black Leather Trainers. The upper consists of leather and textile materials, each requiring specific attention.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe down the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For textile (mesh) areas, a soft brush can help remove dust and debris.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner following the product's instructions. For textile areas, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush, carefully dabbing the stained area.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage leather and adhesives. Stuff with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the leather portions to keep them supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can severely damage materials and construction.
