FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While durable enough for light movement, they are primarily designed for lifestyle, casual, and walking use.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing; order your usual size for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the glues and materials. Use hand cleaning methods instead.

Yes, the 2002R series is available in various colourways, such as blue and silver, depending on stock availability.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are designed for standard daily use and are not specifically treated to be waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces.
Surface stains appearing on fabric
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth; do not use harsh chemical cleaners.
Uncomfortable fit after long walks
Check if the laces are tied too tightly at the midfoot; try loosening the tension on the lowest eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Adjust the laces while sitting to ensure an even distribution of tension across the eyelets.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard fit; wear with moisture-wicking athletic socks to enhance breathability.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can affect the structural integrity of the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
