FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The 2002R Protection Pack trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, featuring comfort-enhancing technologies. While they offer good cushioning, they are not intended as performance running shoes.
How do I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Gently brush dry dirt off the suede with a suede brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh. For suede stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied sparingly according to product instructions.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, especially if you have wider feet.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole technology is designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel, contributing to overall comfort and reducing stress on the feet during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede and mesh materials can be susceptible to damage from excessive moisture. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What does the 'Protection Pack' series signify?
The 'Protection Pack' series typically refers to models that feature a deconstructed, layered aesthetic with enhanced durability elements, offering a distinct visual style and robust build.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and storing them in a dust bag can protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in period might be needed for new shoes. Consider using insoles if additional arch support is desired.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
