FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance 2002R series generally fits true to size, though personal preference for width can vary.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While these are comfortable for walking and daily wear, they are lifestyle trainers and not designed for high-mileage running.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the 2002R Protection Pack utilizes premium leather and suede materials in its construction.
How do I clean the mesh portion?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently wipe the mesh, then allow it to air dry naturally.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The design offers a standard fit; those with significantly wide feet may find them snug, though the materials may stretch slightly with wear.
What does the 'Refined Future' collection mean?
It is the design inspiration behind the 'Protection Pack,' characterized by deconstructed, jagged-edge overlays.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Loss of cushioning support over time
While NERGY technology is durable, if support wanes, consider replacing the factory insole with a third-party orthotic insert.
Color transfer or fading
Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain, as moisture can cause color migration from the suede dyes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers utilize premium suede and leather, proper care is essential to maintain their aesthetic. Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the suede panels. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the materials. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent, but avoid harsh chemicals. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading. Compatibility is universal for casual wear, pairing well with denim or athletic wear due to the neutral gray and purple color palette.
