FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the New Balance 2002R Cordura features advanced cushioning and support suitable for daily activities and light jogs, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes. For dedicated running, specialized running footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, gently use a suede eraser. Avoid water saturation; if wet, blot dry and let air dry naturally, then re-brush.
Is the Cordura mesh waterproof?
The Cordura mesh is damage-resistant and durable, offering some water resistance against light splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray for suede and mesh materials.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam cushioning technology that absorbs impact forces through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing superior comfort and support.
How does Stability Web technology benefit me?
Stability Web technology is designed to provide arch support, which helps prevent overpronation and offers additional midfoot stability, contributing to overall comfort and reducing foot fatigue during prolonged wear.
Are these shoes true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary slightly between models. We recommend referring to the official New Balance size guide and considering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both.
Can I wear these shoes in different seasons?
Yes, the combination of breathable Cordura mesh and durable suede makes them suitable for various seasons. However, the suede material requires extra care in wet or snowy conditions to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks discolored or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, apply a suede eraser, then brush lightly.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.
Outsole loses traction over time.
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread regularly with a stiff brush to maintain grip. If heavily worn, consider professional resoling if available for this model.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoe.
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Use odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Mesh areas appear dirty or stained.
Gently scrub the Cordura mesh with a soft brush or cloth using a diluted mild soap solution. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and air dry.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and preserve the appearance of your shoes:
- Suede Cleaning: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser can be applied gently. Always allow suede to air dry completely.
- Cordura Mesh Cleaning: The Cordura mesh is durable but can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the mesh, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- General Cleaning: For the midsole and outsole, use a damp cloth or soft brush with a mild cleaning solution to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, especially due to the suede components.
