FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack trainers?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. They offer excellent comfort and style for casual activities and navigating daily life.

How do I clean the suede and textile upper?

For suede, use a suede brush and specialized cleaner. Wipe textile and synthetic parts with a damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

While they offer good cushioning and support, they are primarily intended for everyday wear and light training. They are not specifically designed for high-impact athletic performance.

What does 'Protection Pack' refer to in the product name?

The 'Protection Pack' refers to the design elements that include reinforcements on high-wear areas, adding durability and a distinct visual style inspired by 1970s running shoe aesthetics.

What is the width of these trainers?

These trainers come in a standard width, designated as 'D', which is suitable for most adult male feet.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

Yes, they feature a Stability Web arch support system integrated into the midsole to promote stability and comfort.

What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?

The trainers feature a multi-material upper composed of suede, textile, and synthetic materials, with a rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.

The cushioning is designed for long-term wear, but consider that performance may slightly decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes fit correctly, as improper fit can affect perceived comfort.

Traction on outsole seems reduced.

Clean any dirt or debris from the outsole grooves using a brush or damp cloth. The N-durance rubber is durable, but accumulated dirt can impact grip.

Shoes feel stiff or require a break-in period.

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot. The multi-material upper may require a brief break-in phase for optimal comfort.
