FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 2002R features running-inspired technology like ABZORB and N-ergy for comfort and support, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear. For intense running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a slightly damp cloth are recommended. Avoid soaking the shoes in water. Always air dry.
What is the main benefit of the Stability Web outsole?
The Stability Web outsole provides enhanced arch support, contributing to better stability and a more comfortable walking experience.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
This guide focuses on the Blue/Grey colorway. Other color options may be available depending on New Balance's current product offerings.
What UK size is this product guide referencing?
This guide's primary reference is for a UK size 11, as indicated in the product title. However, the features and care instructions apply to all sizes.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some protection, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that laces are tied appropriately without being too tight.
Suede material looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Protect with a suede protector spray after cleaning.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning are designed for longevity. However, if the feel diminishes, ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
