FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and responsiveness needed for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a mild suede cleaner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.
What is the 'Protection Pack' feature?
The 'Protection Pack' designation typically refers to design elements that enhance the shoe's durability and aesthetic, often involving layered materials and reinforced construction, giving them a deconstructed or rugged appearance.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
These trainers pair well with most types of socks, including athletic socks, crew socks, or no-show socks, depending on your preference and the outfit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance. Using a waterproofing spray can offer additional resistance.
What is the main difference between the 2002R and other New Balance models?
The 2002R series is known for its blend of heritage running shoe design with advanced cushioning technology, offering a balance of style and comfort that differs from more minimalist or performance-specific models in the New Balance lineup.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and then reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that your gait is balanced. If the wear is excessive or uneven despite proper use, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Discoloration of the brown material
Exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals can cause fading. Clean gently according to care instructions and store properly. Use a specialized suede cleaner for stubborn marks if necessary.
