FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
Yes, the New Balance 2002 Trainers feature ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning designed to absorb impact, making them suitable for running and other active pursuits for children.
How do I clean the mesh and suede parts?
For mesh, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a dry suede brush for loose dirt and consider a specialized suede cleaner for stains, always spot-testing first. Avoid machine washing.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB technology?
ABZORB technology in the midsole absorbs impact and provides cushioning and compression resistance, enhancing comfort and reducing stress on feet during activity.
Can these trainers be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, these trainers are designed as unisex for children, making them suitable for any child regardless of gender.
What size is UK 12 in kids' sizing?
UK 12 is a specific kids' shoe size. It is recommended to consult the New Balance size chart for precise foot measurements to ensure the best fit.
How long should the cushioning last?
New Balance's cushioning technologies are designed for durability. With proper care and moderate use, the cushioning should provide support for a significant period. Excessive wear or exposure to harsh conditions can reduce lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the lacing system and loosen it for a more comfortable fit. Consider trying a half-size up if persistent discomfort occurs.
Cushioning feels flat
New Balance's ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning materials are designed for sustained performance. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, ensure the shoes have not been excessively worn or exposed to damaging conditions. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Dirt or stains on suede
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions, and then restore the nap with the brush.
Breathability seems low
Ensure the mesh areas are not clogged with dirt or debris. If the shoes are damp, allow them to air dry completely. Proper fit can also influence perceived breathability.
