Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces before putting the shoe on. Insert your child's foot fully into the shoe, ensuring the heel is comfortably seated against the back.

- Activities: Ideal for school PE, playground activities, running, jumping, and general active daily wear. Compatible with various athletic and casual outfits.
- Sizing: Available in UK children's size 3. Ensure you choose the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your New Balance 2002 trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove debris from the suede sections. A damp cloth with mild soap can be used for the mesh areas and rubber sole.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): For tougher stains on suede, consider a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can cause damage to the materials, cushioning, and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
