Product Information

Full details

These New Balance 2002R trainers are designed for active kids who want a blend of retro style and modern comfort. The key benefit is their durable construction with excellent cushioning and shock absorption, perfect for everyday wear and play. A potential consideration is that while they offer great traction, they are best suited for light athletic activities rather than intense sports. Key features include a suede and mesh upper, ABZORB midsole, and N-ergy outsole.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

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.

What are the main materials used?

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

How do I choose the right size?

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.

Can these trainers be washed in a machine?

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

How do I clean muddy trainers?

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.

What is the benefit of the ABZORB midsole?

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

Do these trainers come in other colours?

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.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

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.

Difficulty lacing

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.

Fading colour on suede

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