FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 2002 Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and everyday wear, offering excellent comfort and cushioning. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities.
How should I clean the suede material?
For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the suede.
What is the main benefit of the cushioning in these trainers?
The advanced cushioning, likely featuring technologies like ABZORB, provides superior shock absorption and support, making them comfortable for extended periods of wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the suede offers a premium look, it is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
Is the sizing true to the UK size listed?
New Balance generally offers true-to-size footwear. However, it's always recommended to check specific fit guides or try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.
What makes the 'Protection Pack' variants different?
Protection Pack variants typically feature an enhanced, layered design with a more rugged aesthetic, often incorporating different materials and construction for added durability and visual interest.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, these trainers are designed with a unisex fit, making them suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously, followed by air drying.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing appropriate socks for your intended use.
Sole traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the ground surface is not excessively wet or slippery.
Creasing in the toe box
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially in suede. Using a shoe tree can help minimize deep creases and maintain the shoe's shape when not in use.
