Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed to be worn immediately out of the box with no break-in period required. To maintain the condition of your shoes, treat the suede upper with a water-repellent spray before initial use to protect against moisture and surface dirt. Compatibility is standard across the 2002R series; if you have worn New Balance sizing previously, you will find these fit consistently with other models. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry debris, and avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical detergents.
