Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your New Balance 2002R Trainers, particularly due to their premium materials:
Upper (Leather and Textile):
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, gently wipe the mesh areas with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap.
Deep Cleaning Suede: For more stubborn stains on suede, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Lining (Textile):
Air Out: After wear, remove insoles (if removable) and allow the shoes to air out to prevent odor build-up.
Light Cleaning: If needed, gently wipe the interior lining with a damp cloth.
Sole (Rubber):
Clean Regularly: Wipe down the rubber sole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and debris. This helps maintain traction.
General Tips:
Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Rotation: If possible, rotate your trainers with other footwear to allow them to air out and prolong their lifespan.
