FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature advanced cushioning technology, the 2002R is primarily a lifestyle trainer and is not specifically engineered for high-performance athletic running.
How should I clean the mesh portion?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water, then gently blot the area. Avoid saturating the shoe.
Does the size fit true to expectation?
Generally, New Balance trainers fit true to size, though the structure of the Protection Pack may feel slightly snug due to the layered suede overlays.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials and the vibrant blue and grey color scheme.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are not twisted within the eyelets.
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft crepe brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the texture.
Minor discomfort in the midfoot area
Loosen the lacing in the middle section of the shoe to relieve pressure points across the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002R trainers, start by using the adjustable laces to achieve a snug but comfortable tension that prevents heel slip. These shoes are compatible with standard orthotics if additional arch support is required.
Care instructions include:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the suede surface.
- Apply a dedicated suede protector spray before first use to guard against moisture and dirt.
- If the trainers become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material deformation.
- Do not machine wash or submerge the suede components in water.
