FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R suitable for running?
The 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual athletic shoe, offering excellent comfort for everyday wear. While they can be used for light jogging, they are not engineered with the advanced features found in dedicated running shoes for high-impact performance.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance or the retailer. The UK size is indicated in the product title and specifications. It's recommended to measure your foot length for accuracy.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh and suede upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions as the materials can be damaged and take a long time to dry.
What is the difference between N-ergy and Abzorb cushioning?
N-ergy cushioning provides responsive shock absorption, while Abzorb technology absorbs impact and provides a soft feel. Together, they offer comprehensive cushioning for comfort and protection.
How often should I clean my 2002R trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning of suede and mesh can help maintain their appearance. Avoid excessive cleaning or machine washing.
Are these trainers unisex?
While the New Balance 2002R model is available in both men's and women's sizing, the specific colorway and design can be versatile for any gender. Always check the product details for gender-specific sizing.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede eraser to gently rub out marks. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth and allow to dry, then brush with a suede brush.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to break them in. The Abzorb cushioning will soften with use.
Laces becoming worn
Replace worn laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. Generic athletic shoe laces are usually compatible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The New Balance 2002R is a versatile shoe designed for adult wear, suitable for both men and women. It pairs well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. Its low-cut design makes it compatible with various sock types.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the suede and mesh, use a soft brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede eraser. Avoid using water directly on suede.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
