New Balance 2002R Trainers - Grey - UK 4

Yes, the New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex trainers feature a Gore-Tex membrane, which provides a high level of waterproofing while maintaining breathability.

For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow the shoes to air dry and avoid soaking the suede.

While they offer breathability thanks to the mesh, the Gore-Tex membrane and overall construction are optimized for all-weather use. They may feel warmer than non-waterproof trainers in very high temperatures.

The New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex Marblehead Moon Shadow was released on August 12, 2022.

The upper is constructed from a blend of premium suede and durable mesh.

Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for maintaining the membrane's performance.

This specific Gore-Tex version has a distinct colorway (Marblehead Moon Shadow). Other 2002R models come in various colors, but may not feature Gore-Tex.

Ensure laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly aligned. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane or seams. If damage is present, professional repair may be needed.

Allow the shoe to dry completely. Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit following product instructions.

Ensure the interior of the shoe is dry. Check that the Gore-Tex membrane is not blocked by debris. Over time, performance may slightly decrease; avoid using fabric softeners during cleaning.
