FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R is designed for comfort and casual performance, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer rather than a high-mileage technical running shoe.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 2002R typically follows standard sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may prefer to go up a half size.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
Are these machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers as it can damage the materials and the adhesive. Spot cleaning is the best approach.
What is the primary material used?
The 2002R features a mix of durable synthetic materials and suede overlays for a balanced look and feel.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a dry, soft brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove dirt. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners on suede.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the bridge
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to relieve pressure across the midfoot.
Visible dust on the suede sections
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently buff away debris.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a secure double knot or verify that the laces are fed through the eyelets evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last as long as possible, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature; avoid using a heater or tumble dryer as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesive bonds. If you are between sizes, consider trying both your standard size and a half-size up to account for the specific padding in this series.
