New Balance U2002DX Protection Pack GORE-TEX - Black - Trainers - UK 8.5

Yes, these trainers feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which is engineered to provide robust waterproofing and breathability.

For best results, use a dry suede brush to clean off dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and apply sparingly, following the product's instructions. Avoid excessive moisture on the suede parts.

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide a balance of cushioning and compression resistance, offering excellent shock absorption and comfort.

While they offer good cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and walking. They are not intended for high-performance running activities.

A deconstructed upper refers to a design where the shoe's construction layers are visibly apparent, often featuring raw edges and a layered aesthetic, giving a unique, sometimes unfinished, look.

The 'Unisex' sizing generally indicates a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to check for specific width options if available or try them on for comfort.

To maintain the waterproofing, avoid prolonged submersion in water and allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Periodically, you may reapply a GORE-TEX-approved waterproofing spray.

Ensure all seams and materials are intact. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for GORE-TEX fabrics if performance has diminished. Check that the tongue is properly positioned to maintain the waterproof barrier.

Use a dry suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid using water-based cleaners directly on suede.

Ensure the correct size is being worn and laces are adjusted appropriately. The ABZORB cushioning may require a short break-in period for optimal comfort.

Clean any debris from the mesh areas and heel perforations. Ensure the inner lining is dry, as moisture can impede airflow.
