FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The New Balance 2002R trainers are designed for comfort and support for everyday wear and light activities. They are not specialized athletic shoes and are not recommended for high-impact sports or rigorous training.

How do I clean the suede material?

For suede, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry away from heat. Avoid machine washing.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

These trainers feature ABZORB and SBS heel cushioning for excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel.

Are these trainers true to size?

Generally, New Balance trainers are known for consistent sizing. However, it's always recommended to refer to the brand's size guide and measure your child's foot for the best fit.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, offering features suited to active younger feet.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the suede and overall comfort.

What does the 'N-ergy' outsole provide?

The N-ergy outsole is designed to provide reliable traction and stability, helping to prevent slips on various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the correct size was purchased. Loosen the laces to allow for a more adjustable fit. If still too tight, consider if the shoe is too narrow for the foot width.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The N-ergy outsole provides traction, but smooth surfaces or excessive wear can reduce grip. If wear is significant, consider replacement.

Fading color

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Follow the recommended cleaning instructions to preserve the material's appearance.
