FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 2002 trainers?
The uppers are made from a combination of 48% leather, 32% other materials, and 20% textile. The lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.
How should I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Gently wipe the leather areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. For best results, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather footwear.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear, school, and light recreational activities. While they offer good support and traction, they may not be optimized for high-impact sports.
What does the 'flat heel' design offer?
A flat heel provides a stable base and can contribute to better posture and comfort for extended periods of wear, making them suitable for daily use.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Ensure the lace-up fastening is adjusted snugly but not too tight. Check that there is a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning and air drying are the preferred methods.
What is the purpose of the textile lining and cushioning?
The textile lining and cushioning are designed to enhance comfort, provide insulation, and help manage moisture, keeping the child's feet comfortable throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Laces become untied frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured or 'grippier' material if slipping is a persistent issue.
Slight odor developing
Remove insoles if possible and air out the shoes completely. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are dry before wearing.
Material scuffing or discoloration
For leather parts, use a leather conditioner or cleaner suitable for the color. For textile areas, spot clean gently. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive sunlight or abrasive surfaces.
