New Balance 2002R Trainers - Black - Kids

These trainers are designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and cushioning for active kids. While they provide good traction for general activities, they are not specialized for high-impact or professional sports.

The trainers feature a suede and textile (mesh) upper with smooth suede overlays. The sole is made of synthetic material.

Refer to the size guide provided by New Balance or measure your child's foot and compare it to the UK children's sizing available for this model. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, especially the suede, and affect the shoe's structure and cushioning.

Gently brush off excess dirt when dry. Use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap to clean the mesh and sole. For suede, use a specialized suede brush or eraser, and avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

The ABZORB midsole is designed to provide excellent cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact to offer comfort and support throughout the day.

This specific product is the black variant. Other colour options like grey may be available in the New Balance 2002R series for kids, listed as separate product variants.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the midsole. Try removing the insole, checking for any debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Ensure the laces are properly threaded through the eyelets and not twisted. Loosen the laces before putting the shoe on and then tighten gradually for a comfortable fit.

Protect suede from excessive sun exposure. Use a suede protectant spray designed for footwear to help maintain colour and provide some water resistance.
