FAQs

What is the 'Protection Pack' design?

The 'Protection Pack' refers to a specific design aesthetic for the 2002R model that features deconstructed elements, such as exposed foam on the tongue, and a layered look with premium materials, often in muted colorways.

Are these trainers good for running?

While the 2002R offers excellent cushioning, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the texture. For stains, a suede-specific cleaner is recommended, applied with caution and tested first.

What does ABZORB technology do?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary technology that provides optimal shock absorption and cushioning, helping to reduce impact on your feet.

What is the N-ergy outsole?

The N-ergy outsole is designed to provide shock absorption and stability, working in conjunction with the midsole to offer a comfortable and responsive ride.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and mesh materials.

What is the intended use for this shoe?

The New Balance 2002R 'Protection Pack' is intended for casual wear, offering comfort and style for daily activities, walking, and commuting.

Troubleshooting

Dirt on exposed foam tongue.

Gently use a soft, dry brush. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a cloth with water and gently blot the area. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Suede material looks dull or stained.

Allow the shoe to dry completely. Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.

Reduced cushioning feel over time.

While the ABZORB technology is durable, prolonged heavy use may slightly reduce its responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are not overly worn and consider rotating with other footwear.
