FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R is designed for comfort and light activity, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer and may not provide the same specialized support as dedicated long-distance running footwear.
How do I determine if size UK 13 is right for me?
Measure your foot while standing at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest. A proper fit should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers. Submerging them can damage the structure and the adhesive integrity of the sole.
What is the primary material used?
The 2002R series typically features a mix of premium leather and breathable mesh panels.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. We suggest applying a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long walk
Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique to allow for natural foot expansion; consider loosening the laces slightly mid-day.
Visible surface dust on mesh panels
Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift and remove debris from the fabric textures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Always wear the type of socks you intend to use with the shoes before making a final size determination. If you are a UK size 13, ensure the fit is snug but allows room for natural foot swelling.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleans, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather and mesh materials.
- Drying: Air-dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the glue and leather materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the blue and grey colors.
