Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 2002R in Black, Dark Grey, and White is designed for adults seeking a blend of comfort and style for everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in the premium materials and ABZORB cushioning for superior shock absorption. A potential caveat is that while versatile, the design is distinctly a sneaker, which may not suit all formal occasions. This shoe features a sophisticated combination of suede and mesh, offering both durability and breathability, coupled with a timeless colorway and a robust rubber outsole for excellent traction.

FAQs

What makes the ABZORB cushioning special?

ABZORB is a superior cushioning technology that absorbs shock, providing a responsive feel and reducing impact on your feet during wear.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which usually provides conversions from other measurement systems (like US sizes or centimeters) to UK sizes. Ensure your foot measurement is taken accurately.

Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, or to use a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede.

What is the difference between suede and mesh materials in the upper?

Suede provides a premium look and durable texture, while mesh offers enhanced breathability to keep your feet cooler.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and comfort sneaker, with ABZORB cushioning suitable for walking and light activity. For serious running, dedicated running shoes are typically recommended.

How often should I clean my suede sneakers?

Regularly brush off dry dirt. Deep cleaning should be done as needed, especially after encountering stains or heavy wear. Using a protector spray after cleaning helps maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) under the insole, or ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check for any loose threads or debris inside the shoe.

Suede material appears dull or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Apply a suede protector spray after cleaning.
