FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on performance heritage, the 2002R Protection Pack is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than high-intensity athletics.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a suede-specific brush and, if necessary, a specialized cleaning foam. Avoid getting the suede saturated with water.
Is the sizing consistent with other New Balance models?
Yes, the 2002R generally fits true to size for most adult users.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The suede and mesh construction is not waterproof and exposure to rain may cause damage or staining to the suede.
What is the NERGY technology?
NERGY is a high-performance cushioning technology embedded in the midsole that provides shock absorption and energy return.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a soft dry suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in a circular motion.
Creasing in the mesh or midsole
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and reduce tension on the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature delicate suede overlays, avoid machine washing or submerging them in water. To maintain the material, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each wear. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner foam with a soft-bristled brush, allowing the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede from hardening. For optimal compatibility, ensure you choose your standard UK sizing, as the 2002R provides a true-to-size fit for most adult foot shapes.
