FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R features running-inspired technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a technical performance runner.
Do these trainers come in wide widths?
The standard 2002R silhouette offers a regular fit. Check the specific product listing for availability of wide or narrow variants.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and glue, potentially causing the shoe to lose its shape or color.
How do I remove odor from my 2002R trainers?
Remove the insoles and let them air dry, or use an odor-neutralizing spray specifically designed for footwear.
Will the green color fade?
Like any dyed material, exposure to excessive UV light can cause fading; store them in a shaded area to maintain the vibrancy of the green.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Creasing near the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them around the house for short periods before long-distance walking to allow the footbed to mold to your stride.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the suede panels. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for the leather sections to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the green color to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most men, but if you prefer wearing thicker athletic socks, consider how that affects your typical size requirement.
