FAQs

Are the distressed markings permanent?

Yes, the distressed markings are a design feature of the 'Protection Pack' and are intentionally applied during manufacturing. They are part of the shoe's aesthetic.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh and suede.

How does the Abzorb midsole help?

The Abzorb midsole is designed to absorb shock, providing cushioning and reducing the impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole provides traction, the suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

How do I know my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart or measure your foot length and compare it to the provided size guide. For this specific model, the size is listed as UK 10.5.

What is the main difference between this and other 2002R models?

The primary difference is the 'Protection Pack' design, which features deconstructed elements and intentional distressing, setting it apart from smoother, more traditional 2002R versions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists after break-in, consider trying a half-size up if available.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following instructions carefully.

Reduced traction

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any debris or slick residues that may have accumulated.
