FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature performance-based cushioning, the 2002 is primarily designed as a lifestyle/walking trainer rather than a dedicated long-distance running shoe.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
It provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance to absorb impact during movement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as mechanical washing and drying can damage the adhesive and structural foam components.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the Stability Web outsole technology is specifically designed to provide enhanced arch support.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 2002 series is designed to accommodate a wide variety of foot shapes regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.
Soles feeling slippery on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsoles are free of debris or dust, which can clog the traction patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002 trainers maintain their structure and aesthetic, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, but consider wearing standard athletic socks to gauge proper fit.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth, avoiding submersion in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place near heat sources or direct sunlight, as this can warp the foam midsoles.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the materials.
