FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 2002R has roots in technical running design and offers excellent cushioning, it is best suited for walking, daily wear, and light athletic activities rather than high-impact or competitive running.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing provided. Trying them on if possible is always best.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The suede and mesh construction is not fully waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. Allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.
What is the main benefit of the ABZORB and N-ergy technologies?
ABZORB technology provides optimal cushioning and compressive force resistance, while N-ergy offers shock absorption and responsiveness. Together, they deliver superior comfort and a smooth ride.
Is the fit narrow or wide?
The 2002R typically offers a standard fit. However, individual foot shapes vary, and some users may find certain widths more comfortable than others. Consult reviews or try them on for a definitive fit assessment.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after significant wear or if they become visibly dirty. Regular brushing of the suede can help maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break-in periods can vary; wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Suede material showing dirt or scuffs
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The ABZORB and N-ergy technologies are designed for durability. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its lifespan for optimal performance. Ensure the shoes are clean, as debris can sometimes affect feel.
Discoloration on white/grey sections
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause some materials to yellow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance 2002R trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult footwear use. They are compatible with various casual and athletic outfits. The unisex design makes them suitable for individuals of any gender.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the suede and mesh upper, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes. For stubborn stains on suede, a dedicated suede cleaner may be necessary, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Outsole and Midsole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the N-ergy and ABZORB components are kept clean from excessive mud or grit.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and sunlight.
