Proper care will prolong the life and appearance of your New Balance 2002 Trainers:
General Cleaning: For light dirt on mesh, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove surface dust and dirt.
Stain Removal (Suede): For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can dry out and crack the materials.
Protection: Consider applying a quality suede and fabric protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air out the trainers. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing) to absorb odors.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
