FAQs
What makes the cushioning in the 2002R unique?
The 2002R features ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for targeted shock absorption and an ACTEVA LITE midsole for lightweight, responsive cushioning, providing a comfortable and supportive feel.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The 2002R is primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While comfortable for walking, they are not optimized for intense running or athletic training.
How should I clean the suede and mesh upper?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the material. Always allow to air dry.
What is the benefit of the Stability Web technology?
Stability Web technology in the N-ergy outsole provides enhanced arch support and torsional stability, helping to control foot movement and improve traction.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the N-ergy outsole offers good traction, the suede and mesh upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What is the primary material of the trainers?
The trainers feature a combination of suede and mesh for the upper, providing both durability and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider specialized footwear as these are designed for general grip.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Verify the lacing is not too tight or too loose. Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a cloth, dabbing gently. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
