Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the 2002R offers excellent cushioning, they are designed more for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities rather than high-mileage marathon training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with different support and cushioning profiles are recommended.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and width and compare it with the provided chart. Trying them on in person is the most reliable method if possible.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The trainers are made with leather and mesh, which are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments. Prolonged exposure to water may affect the materials and comfort.
What is the main difference between Abzorb and Abzorb SBS?
Abzorb is a general cushioning technology that absorbs impact. Abzorb SBS (Shim Balance System) is an enhanced version specifically designed for superior heel cushioning, providing more targeted comfort during the heel strike phase of walking or running.
How often should I clean my 2002R trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, depending on usage and environmental conditions. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth after use can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be performed less frequently.
What does 'Stability Web' technology do?
Stability Web technology is integrated into the outsole to provide enhanced arch support. It helps to control pronation and offers a more stable platform for your foot, reducing the risk of strain or fatigue, particularly during prolonged wear.
Troubleshooting
Tired or aching feet after wearing
Ensure the size is correct and not too tight or loose. If arch support is insufficient, consider adding aftermarket insoles designed for your foot type. Allow a break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet.
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or moisture. Try inserting a talc-free powder inside the shoe or under the insole. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Materials scuffing or showing wear quickly
Regular cleaning with appropriate methods and storing them properly can help prevent premature wear. For leather elements, consider using a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid exposing them to abrasive surfaces.
