FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance 2002 Trainers are designed for general comfort and support during everyday activities and light play. For high-impact sports or specialized athletic training, a shoe designed specifically for that sport would be more appropriate.
How do I ensure I am buying the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the size chart provided by New Balance. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room, typically about half an inch.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main benefit of the suede overlays?
The suede overlays provide a premium aesthetic and add durability and structure to the trainer, helping to maintain its shape during active use.
How often should I clean the trainers?
Clean the trainers as needed, especially after significant wear or exposure to dirt and moisture. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance.
Are there other color options available for the 2002 series?
The 2002 series from New Balance comes in various colorways. While this guide focuses on the Black/Grey model, other options may be available depending on the season and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Double-knotting can provide extra security for very active children.
Shoe appears too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and have the child try the shoe on again, adjusting the tightness. Ensure the correct size has been selected based on foot measurement.
Discoloration on suede areas
Use a suede eraser to gently lift the stain. For persistent marks, consult a specialized leather and suede cleaner.
Mesh shows signs of wear or dirt
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid vigorous scrubbing that could damage the mesh fibers.

- Stylish design with premium finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear. Ensure the correct size is selected for a proper fit. The lace-up closure should be tied securely but not too tightly to allow for comfort and circulation.
Compatibility: The New Balance 2002 Trainers are suitable for a variety of casual activities and everyday wear. They are compatible with most children's activewear and casual clothing.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and suede areas with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains on mesh, a mild soap solution can be used with a soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be effective. Allow suede areas to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent, then air dry.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
