Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002Rs maintain their look and feel, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally offer a comfortable fit straight out of the box, but light use for the first few days will allow the suede to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Never submerge suede shoes in water. Use a dedicated soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. For localized stains, use a specialist suede eraser.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the blue and purple colorways over time.
- Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray designed specifically for suede to offer a barrier against light moisture and environmental pollutants.
