FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes and featuring shock absorption, the 2002R is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For intense running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and avoid soaking the suede.
What is the main benefit of the Abzorb midsole?
The Abzorb midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact during wear and offers comfort for extended periods.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions as moisture can damage the suede material and potentially affect the shoe's structure. Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for suede.
What materials are used in the New Balance 2002R trainers?
These trainers are typically made with a combination of breathable mesh for the upper and suede for overlays and accents, providing both ventilation and a premium look.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The trainers feature a lace-up closure that allows for adjustment. Ensure the laces are tied snugly but not too tight, and consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
What does 'Protection Pack' refer to?
The 'Protection Pack' is a specific series within the 2002R line that often features a deconstructed, layered aesthetic with slightly more rugged detailing, enhancing the visual and textural interest.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit
Adjust the lacing to ensure the shoes are not too tight or too loose. Ensure you have selected the correct size, as sizing can vary slightly between models.
Suede appearing matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Mesh upper shows discoloration
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can damage the material.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check if the laces are rubbing excessively.
