FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R features athletic roots and comfort, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer for casual use rather than a high-performance running shoe.
How should I clean the grey detailing?
Gently spot clean the grey areas with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution, being careful not to soak the material.
Does the 2002R run true to size?
Yes, most users find that the 2002R fits true to standard UK sizing, though individual preference may vary based on sock thickness.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert orthotics if required for extra support.
What is the primary material used?
The 2002R utilizes a premium blend of synthetic and textile materials designed for both durability and breathability.
How do I maintain the black colour?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent premature fading and use a soft brush to keep them free of dust.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces to improve grip.
Surface marks on the black fabric
Use a dry eraser or a suede/fabric-safe brush to gently buff out light scuffs.
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the bottom up to lock your heel in place.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry surface dirt after each wear.
- Stain Removal: Apply a gentle, shoe-specific cleaner with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents that may affect the fabric integrity.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause material warping or discoloration.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if you want to maintain the original shape over time.
