FAQs
What makes the ABZORB midsole beneficial?
The ABZORB midsole is engineered to provide exceptional shock absorption, reducing the impact felt by your feet and legs during movement, thus enhancing overall comfort and reducing fatigue.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for general activity, they are primarily designed for comfort-focused performance and casual athletic styling. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced biomechanical support might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the textile and suede parts?
For textile areas, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a dry suede brush or a suede eraser. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can affect the materials and comfort.
What is the main advantage of the heel cushioning?
The additional heel cushioning increases stability, providing a more secure and confident feel with every step, and contributes to overall comfort during extended wear.

The New Balance U2002 Textile Trainers are available in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for other available options.
What is the intended gender for these trainers?

Troubleshooting
Slight tightness or discomfort on first wear.
This is common with new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Appearance of scuffs or marks on the upper.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. For suede parts, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser.
Reduced cushioning over time.
While designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles if significant flattening occurs.
Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. Some smooth surfaces inherently offer less grip; use caution in such conditions.
