FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Abzorb cushioning?
Abzorb cushioning is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a comfortable and protected feel for your feet during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are ideal for light running and everyday urban wear. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes with advanced support and cushioning may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry.
What does the 'Stability Web' feature do?
The Stability Web is integrated into the outsole to provide enhanced arch support and improve stability, particularly during changes in direction or on uneven surfaces.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the materials and affect comfort. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What is the intended use for the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack?
They are designed for light running, everyday urban wear, and casual use, offering a combination of retro style and modern comfort technologies.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common due to the materials used. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.
Suede material getting dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. For minor marks, a dry soft brush can often remove surface dirt. Protectants can be applied to help prevent future stains.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
Ensure the shoe's internal cushioning is not compacted. Regular cleaning and allowing the shoes to air out can help maintain their properties. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time for replacement.
