The New Balance 2002R M2002RDA-60 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer, offering comfort and style for everyday casual wear. While it features responsive cushioning, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray to your trainers before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against water and stains, though it does not make them entirely waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid saturating the suede with water and never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
New Balance sizing is generally consistent across their lifestyle ranges. For the best fit, it's always recommended to try them on, especially if you have specific fit preferences, or consult a New Balance size chart if purchasing online. This specific model is UK size 6.
The New Balance 2002R series typically features advanced cushioning technologies like ABZORB and N-ERGY in the midsole, which work together to provide a blend of impact absorption and responsive comfort, contributing to the shoe's overall comfortable feel.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in small, circular motions or in one direction to restore the texture.
Ensure you have the correct size (UK 6). If new, allow for a brief break-in period. Check your lacing technique to ensure it's not too tight across the instep.
If wet, gently blot the area with a clean, dry cloth immediately. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, following product instructions carefully. Always apply a water-repellent spray as a preventative measure.
Regular cleaning with a suede brush and periodic application of a suede protector spray can help maintain the trainer's appearance. Consider using shoe trees to preserve shape when not in use.
Using your New Balance 2002R trainers is straightforward. Simply unbox and lace them up to your preferred snugness. Ensure you've selected the correct UK size 6 for optimal comfort and fit.
