FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 2002R series offers excellent comfort, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer rather than a technical performance running shoe.
Does the leather require a break-in period?
Yes, because of the premium leather upper, it may take a few wears for the material to soften and conform perfectly to the unique shape of your foot.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but since these are leather, they provide a structured fit. We recommend using a standard UK size chart and checking your measurements if you are between sizes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machine cycles can damage the adhesives and the leather integrity. Stick to hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and specialized products.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Remove the insoles if possible, stuff the interior with newspaper to absorb moisture, and let them air dry slowly at room temperature.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing in the toe box area
This is a natural occurrence with leather; using cedar shoe trees when not in use helps minimize deep creases.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a leather eraser or a matching shoe polish cream to gently buff out the scuff marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush. For leather maintenance, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack or warp the leather.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper between wears.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions, but test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
