FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack is designed primarily for everyday wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the specific support or performance required for intense athletic running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Avoid soaking the suede in water. It's advisable to treat them with a suede protector spray.
What does 'Protection Pack' refer to?
The 'Protection Pack' designation typically refers to a design aesthetic that includes raw-edged detailing and layered paneling, giving the shoe a deconstructed or protective look.
Is the Abzorb cushioning durable?
Yes, Abzorb is a foam cushioning technology from New Balance designed for shock absorption and durability, providing comfort for extended wear.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the suede upper is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
What is the arch support like?
These trainers feature a Stability Web arch support system, designed to provide structure and stability to the midfoot.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or on a shoe rack, away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain their shape and material quality.
