FAQs
What is the main benefit of the 2002R's cushioning system?
The 2002R features ABZORB midsole and N-ergy shock absorbing outsole cushioning, providing excellent impact absorption and support for all-day comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoes and offering good support, they are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and specialized suede cleaners for stains. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
What does the 'Stability Web' do?
The Stability Web is integrated into the outsole to provide enhanced arch support and torsional stability, contributing to a more secure feel.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It's not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and affect its appearance. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically for suede.
What sizes are available?
The 2002R comes in a range of adult sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific available sizes in this colorway.
Is the fit true to size?
Fit can vary slightly between individuals. It is recommended to consult a size chart and consider trying them on if possible, or ordering your usual size with the option to exchange.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
Wear with thicker socks initially or use a shoe stretcher. The suede may also stretch slightly with wear.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, follow specific suede cleaning instructions.
Reduced cushioning over time
Ensure the shoes are properly cared for. Excessive wear and tear can impact cushioning; consider shoe inserts for added support if needed.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is normal with wear, especially on suede. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use.
