FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize NERGY cushioning, the 2002R is primarily a lifestyle trainer designed for walking and daily casual use, rather than intense athletic running.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The New Balance 2002R fits true to size. We recommend choosing your standard UK sneaker size.
Can these be machine washed?
No. Machine washing can damage the suede and leather components. Always clean by hand.
What is the Protection Pack?
The Protection Pack is a specific sub-series of the 2002R collection known for its 'deconstructed' or 'refined future' aesthetic, featuring jagged edges and layered paneling.
Do the materials stretch over time?
The leather and mesh upper will adapt slightly to your foot shape after a break-in period, providing a more custom fit.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a specialized suede brush or an eraser to gently lift dirt without damaging the material nap.
Midsole discoloration
Wipe with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then dry immediately to maintain the off-white vintage aesthetic.
Material scuffing
For leather scuffs, use a leather-appropriate conditioner or cleaner to buff out marks lightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the 2002R series generally follows a standard athletic trainer fit profile. To maintain the appearance of your 2002R trainers, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh conditions. Because the upper features suede and leather, do not submerge them in water. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede portions and utilize a damp, lint-free cloth for the leather accents. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from stiffening or cracking.
