FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 2002R features running-inspired DNA and good cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and everyday comfort. For dedicated high-performance running, specialized running shoes may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the raw-edged suede details?
Gently brush the raw edges with a suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a soft cloth dampened with water or a specialized suede cleaner, applying minimal pressure to avoid fraying the edges further.
What is the main benefit of the Abzorb midsole?
The Abzorb midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, and offers responsive cushioning for a comfortable feel with every step.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the suede material can be damaged by excessive moisture. Light splashes may be manageable with prompt cleaning.
What does 'Protection Pack' refer to?
The 'Protection Pack' series typically refers to a design aesthetic that incorporates raw-edged detailing and layered materials, giving the shoes a deconstructed and robust appearance.
How is the arch support on these trainers?
The trainers feature a Stability Web arch support system, designed to provide good support for the arch and enhance overall stability during wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.
Laces wearing out
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Many sports retailers offer a variety of lace options.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The Abzorb midsole is designed for long-lasting cushioning. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, ensure there are no foreign objects inside the shoe and that the shoes have been properly cared for. Natural wear and tear over extended periods is expected.
